There's something which I am really confused, my MotherBoard has a Intel 946GZ Express Chipset, when I checked it's specs in www.intel.com, they say it only supports 800MHz FSB, while my MotherBoard manual claim that their MotherBoard supports 1066MHz FSB, so which I should believe? I don't want ended up buying a Intel Core2 Quad with 1066MHz FSB and ended sayin that my MotherBoard don't support the proccesor, so should I believe www.intel.com or my MotherBoard manual??

Just look up your motherboard's model number and then put the model number in google or whatever , that's the best way to find it out .

I understand something, if I install a CPU with 1066MHz FSB, means my Intel 946GZ Express Chipset has to be Over-Clocked. But anyway, can I reduce the FSB to gain more Core speed?
