    If I upgrade my processor to a t9300 and get ddr2-800mhz ram will am I still capped at the 667mhz FSB? I believe I am but just wanted to see if anyone knew 100%(as I'm sure someone does). Thank you.

    If you upgrade to a T9300, and DDR2-800 RAM, FSB = 800MHz; RAM = 667MHz.

    Yup - as Andy points out, RAM speed is chipset limited to 667mHz.
    FSB is limited to 800mHz, if you put in an 800 FSB CPU.
