  1. Hello there. I have just upgraded my PC with a Pentium 4 3200 MHz + MOBO ASUSTeK P4P800 + 2048 MB RAM.
    The FSB frequency of the above setup should be 800 MHz.
    Now after having run Nero Info Tool it gives the information that my bus speed is 200 MHz.
    Bus should be 800 MHz, actually it is 200 MHz.
    Is there anything I am missing here?
    What change in which part of the system I have to do in order to have the 800 MHz bus speed (or, in any case, higher than 200 MHz)?
    Thanks

    your fsb in all actuality is at 200fsb...intel just quad pumps it. so 4x200=800

    Sort of. From what I understand the single bank of you PC3200 memory runs at 200 MHz, but since it's DDR it runs at 400 MHz. Then the dual-channel support on your board doubles that to the 800 MHz range for your CPU's FSB. PC3200 shows up as 200 MHz with CPU-Z on AMD boards as well when running 400 FSB Bartons.
