Hey guys, I am looking into building my first system... but wanted to be clear on some things:
I went to tigerdirect and saw some bundles. They have a lot of bundles with dx38bt mobo and q6700 cpu. The thing that confused me was the bus speed on both devices. The dx38bt motherboard has 1333mhz fsb while the q6700 has 1066mhz bus speed.
Now, does that mean that since I have a slower bus speed on the cpu (1066) that the motherboard isn't utilizing the rest of its 1333 mhz capabilities? in other words am i losing 267mhz of bus speed? are they different and doesnt matter with each other?
if this is true, why would they bundle a system that isnt optimal?
please clarify. Thank you.
