So today I went into my BIOS and learned something totally new to me, I could not alter the System Bus speed directly, only the FSB (QDR). With a little reading l learned that all this means is that the CPU (and/or RAM?) send signals 4 times per clock cycle. My FSB (QDR) is at 1066.7, so my System Bus is at 277.7 (1066.7 / 4= 266.7). Since my multiplier is at 9, to find the core speed of the CPU I can multiply the FSB (QDR) by (9/4) or 2.5.
1. My question is, is because I only see the option to increase the FSB (QDR) (instead of the actual system bus at 266.7 MHz), should I increase the FSB at 1/4 increments of that I would were I adjusting the actual system bus?
2. Also, does (QDR) stand for Quadruple Data Rate?
