should probably know the answer to this but i don't

possibly but if ur ram does have a faster speed then ur proc u might want to upgraded inless you boght the best ram out there
 
ok well i was thinking of getting this mobo and I know I'm getting a Core 2 Duo which runs at 1066 mhz (its the low end 1.86 ghz model) and it will work for the system because it has a fsb of up to 1366 mhz, however I don't know what I should do about the memory becauseit supports 1200 mhz memory, and I don't know what I should get because my proc is only 1066 mhz, I would get 1066 mhz memory for this but I don't know if you can, it doesn;t say if you can. I just don't know what kind of memory I should get, I'm trying to put together a medium to high end gaming machine, but only trying to spend about $1000.

Periods are helpful

1. The FSB is not 1066MHz, it's 266MHz
2. The RAM is not 1200MHz, it's a max of 533MHz.

Let's just say that the RAM speed and the FSB speed are not related, and it doesn't matter what each one is in relation to the other.
 
1:1 Ram speed to processor bus is the best though

and FSB is quad pumped, so it is actually 1066, the bus speed is 266

"FSB 1066MHz" of the E6600
 
1:1 Ram speed to processor bus is the best though, like 400 ram speed: 400 bus speed, but 400 bus is kinda hard to reach effectively

and they do not make 1200 RAM, the highest is 533 like bobo said, and you double that to get DDR2 1066 which is the highest, ddr2 800 is the most you will need

The highest normal RAM speed is 533MHz, I don't really understand why they keep trying to OC them further.
 
ok, well, do you guys know a mother board that I can have 1:1 on, because I now theres memory that is 1066, and the processor is 1066, I just can't find the mobo, but could I tweek this mobo to use 1066, thus forth using 1:1?
 
There's absolutely no reason to have a 1:1 ratio. If you were to get those parts, what you'd see in the BIOS is that the FSB is 266MHz, and the RAM is 533MHz. Not 1066 and 1066.

Why do they make faster computers? And it isn't really overclocking them fruther, it is just trying to reach DDR2-1200 (what comes after DDR-1067), which will be supported by new motherboards. If I'm correct, the 680i chipset already supports it, when a 333Mhz FSB is used.
 
Oh ok I didn't know they were trying to make this a new standard, I thought it was just companies trying to see how far they can OC their RAM
 
and 1:1 is the best ratio performance wise, it says it in the OC 101

and as for the FSB all over newegg it says this is whats quadpumped in the specs, like it says fsb of the E6600 is 1066, not 266

and for the evga 680i, it says it can support a FSB of 1333/1066

so what is it really? and is newegg wrong? or are you guys using the term incorrectly?

Newegg is wrong. The FSB is 266Mhz, but the Bus effectively runs at "1066Mhz", though it doesn't technically.
