Why do you care? This is just STUPID marketing hype and has zero
impact on actual performance. Use REAL tools like CPU-Z to truly see
how well your CPU, MB and MEMORY are running regarding settings, rated
verses actual speed, FSB speed, memory timing, voltage, etc..

CPU-Z is a FREE little utility and a example of GOOD programming
nearly everybody should install. It is very small,fast, accurate and
doesn't cost anything and you don't need to know squat about the inner
working of your PC you use it. What more could anyone want?
