    I put on cpu-z ( I got the crappy ram like some of the others) but what I thought was odd that it said FSB was 800 and multiplier was 8 and indicated my CPU was running at 1.6Ghz. Is this an error on CPU-z?

    Anyone else notice this?

    It's an error. It means 8x200MHz /2=800MHz. It's the SuperLFM.

    I've seen the same thing on my 1810T (SU7300). When the CPU goes idle the FSB drops to 100MHz from 200MHz and the multiplier jumps to 8x, but CPU-Z and other utilities don't see the FSB change so they misreport the clock speed to be 1600MHz.

    FWIW, the SU2300 and SU4100 don't support Dynamic FSB / SLFM, so they won't do this.
