    What is the FSB of a Core 2 Duo T7200 processor?
    Everest is showing 166Mhz.
    Shouldn't it be 400Mhz.??

    I believe it's 166 * 4 giving you an effective 667 Mhz FSB (although 166 *4 is very close to 667 mhz). It's probably on it's lowest multiplyer in order to conserve battery power.

    No it should be 667MHz, as it is 166MHz quad-pumped (4x). The older Pentium M's (banias i believe) had the 400Mhz FSB (100x4), while Dothan and Yonah (again, Pentium M and Core Duo) both have 533Mhz (133x4) and the new Santa Rosa (Still called Core 2 Duo) have 200 MHz quad pumped (800MHz FSB).
