I think im rather confused here. I know that my current CPU (2400+ Tbred) FSB is 266mhz. So inorder to make the most use of it, i have to have ram and a mother board that can handle at least 266mhz. And if i had say a new barton cpu i would need one that could handle 400mhz fsb.
Now i have seen mobo's and ram that can do 400mhz and more. But the new Athlon 64 chips for instance are listed as have a FSB of 1600mhz... and the p4 is 800mhz. So is the FSB of these chips realy double the XP's? I mean i know the 64's kick ass but 1600mhz fsb??? thats nuts...Even DDR2 ram is only what 533mhz? 600something maybe? so am i realy that out of the loop or am I missing something?
