    I just downloaded CPU-Z and everything looks normal except that for bus speed it just stays at 166.2Mhz. While the rated FSP is 665mhz. My CPU is a Core 2 Duo T5250 @ 1.5GHZ.

    So is this normal for it to say that?

    Thanks

    The bus is quad pumped (meaning four data transfers per clock), so the effective speed about 667.
