so im working on my first build, and ive been doing research for weeks now, but there are still a few things im iffy on, so if anyone could help me answer a few questions, it would be much appreciated.
so after browsing on newegg for hours on end, trying to decide on a mobo, im still left with questions about compatability.
when newegg lists the FSB speed, for example 1333/1066, does that mean max/minimum? does the processor FSB speed have to match the Mobo's FSB speed, or could the processor FSB speed be 1066 and have a mobo that has 1333 speed.
also on some boards where it lists the memory standard, some will say 1200 (O.C)/1066. does the O.C refer to overclocking and that if i were to get ram, i would need to get 1066 if i didnt overclock?
these are really the only 2 main questions i have regarding the mobo. sorry if these sound like lame n00b questions, dont hate on me too hard, be gentle.
