Dear guyz.

I have an intel quad core q6700 overclocked to 3.00 ghz. intel's website says that its fsb is 1066 mhz but cpuz shows rated fsb 1200 mhz.
can anyone explain that ?
 
Solution
Increasing the front side bus also increases ram speed. If CPUz is showing 600 mhz that means your ram is running at 1200 mhz (DDR=DOUBLE data rate).
