1333 FSB is a marketing gimmick and one that is going to **** off a lot of enthusiests. They keep raising the FSB and screwing us over on the multiplier so that we have to buy an EXTREME edition of the chip to get any overclocking out of it.

well I agree. But the point is, if you get a 1333FSB chip, you'll need a new 1333FSB motherboard. Otherwise, the chip won't work like it should.

Most of the boards will let you use a 1333 chip if you flash the bios. I know my p35 board already had native support for the new 1333 and 45nm chips, and my 680i board will accept them with a bios flash.

my P965 chipset already supports 1600fsb....
