After reading about terms like "Bus Speed", "Rated FSB", "Quad Data Rate", "Double Data Rate" and "DRAM Frequency" i decided that "FSB: DRAM" function in CPU-Z software does not mean anything. Let me prove you:
My intel CPU has 266Mhz "Bus Speed". With Intel's "Quad Data Rate" technology this "Bus Speed" is multiplied by 4 times and by doing this we reach 4x266=1066Mhz "Rated FSB". Now let's check the memory frequency. I have "2x2GB 1066Mhz" labelled memory sticks. They actually run at 533Mhz. But thanks to "Dual Data Rate" they are multiplied by two times and reach 1066Mhz "DRAM Frequency". So in the end we find that both CPU and RAM are running at the same frequencies:1066Mhz. Then why this damned CPU-Z says that my "FSB: DRAM" is not 1:1??? IT IS 1:1...
So the programmer doesn't know anything about Intel's "Quad Data Rate" technology and it can't calculate "FSB: DRAM" properly. And this situation is misleading most overclockers.
