My computer catalogue states 3.20Ghz and 800Mhz FSB,my system BIOS shows3.20Ghz and 200MhzFSB ONLY.How?

Question

the system bios and nerostart and some other places the FSB speed shows only 200Mhz instead of 800Mhz.Where is the 600Mhz FSB and how can I view it?

I accept and satisfied with Mr.Mysticman's answer.In reality the FSB is only 200Mhz,through quad pumped speed it send data 4 times more in my system.O.K.Is there any computer have more than 200Mhz FSB in reality and what is the maximum FSB and minimum FSB in reality?

Answer 1

The front side bus is quad pumped, which means it sends data four times per clock cycle. The front side bus is generally quoted in the catalogue as its quad pumped speed, which in your case is 800Mhz, but in reality it is only 200Mhz. There is nothing wrong with your system.
