It's funny how you mention the 1ghz FSB. An overclocked P4
[email protected] - 3.2ghz runs a FSB that is effectively over 1ghz.
CPU @ 3.12ghz
Quad pumped 260mhz FSB = 4x260mhz = 1040mhz FSB
CPU @ 3.19ghz
Quad Pumped 265mhz FSB = 4x265mhz = 1060mhz FSB
One time I really pushed my stock air cooling and got the CPU to near 3.3ghz and it was effectivley running on a 1.1ghz FSB.
So a 1ghz FSB isn't really impressive to me. ;P
Granted, the current P4's can't address over 4GB of Ram because that is the limit of the 32-bit architecture. The Prescott and the Tejas will solve that problem though. Honestly, not many people even use 4GB of Ram let alone over 4GB. The people who do are likely to own something like an Itanium 2 anyways(A high-end 64-bit Server chip). 4GB of Ram on a desktop is literally overkill.
