    Say, hypothetically, I wanted to replace the current motherboard in my 6920G to allow for 1 GHz FSB. Basically, say I want to be able to use The Intel T9600 processor and 1 GHz RAM. What would I have to go through here apart from a motherboard upgrade and how much $$?

    I'm not sure what you mean ... I have a 6920G and want to be able to use a T9600 with 1 GHz RAM.

    The 6920G's motherboard doesn't support a T9600 and a FSB of 1066MHz.
