Newbe-How do I know my computer is running at 800Mhz FSB?

Hello,

Just got my new computer up and running. I went to a web site that checks
your system. I can't remember the web site, but it said my bus speed was
200MHz. I was expecting to see 800MHz. What's up?

Motherboard: Asus P4P800S, 800MHz FSB

Chipset: Intel 848P MCH

CPU: Intel P4 3E Ghz, 1MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB, PGA-478 Pkg

Memory: 512 MB, PC3200, DDR400

Video: Sapphire, Radeon 9200 SE Atlantis, Graphics by ATI, 128MB DDR

OS: Win XP Pro SP2

Sincerely,

Injam

The P4's FSB is 'quad-pumped' - a 200 MHz FSB P4 has an effective data
transfer rate of 800 million transfers/second (no idea about the bus
width - can't give you a number in terms of data) even though the FSB
clock is 200 MHz.

So are you telling me that my FSB is running at 800MHz?

Bus speed 200 and FSB (bus between your CPU & Memory) 800. That is if
you are using PC3200 memory, As stated below your CPU (P4) is quad
pumped and the PC3200 can easily match the CPU speed at 1:1. If you
are using PC2700 then the FSB will be 533 at 1:1 , the lowest common
denominator rules.

From a pure technical point of view, the FSB is 200 MHz - as that is
the frequency that the clock generator is putting out.

However, for all practical purposes, you are correct - the FSB of your
CPU is 800 MHz because it can make a data transfer 800 million times per
second.
