>the fastest P4 cpus have a rated FSB of 533 >(which is 266*2). running the bus at 333(666) >would be overclocking. No, it wouldn't. I don't think you understand how the memory architecture of a modern Intel chipset works. The memory clock speed is independent of the FSB speed. The front-side bus connects the CPU to the Northbridge of the chipset. The chipset, in turn, has a separate bus to connect to memory. See this link for an example diagram of a modern P4 chipset: http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/02q2/020514/p4x333-04.html Ryan Malayter Sr. Network & Database Administrator Bank Administration Institute Chicago, Illinois, USA PGP Key: http://www.malayter.com/pgp-public.txt ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Twas a woman who drove me to drink.
