Or just ask us. :D

Give us a processor and we'll likely be able to tell you what the FSB speed is. Of course, there's also a few programs that will be able to tell you with a reasonable amount of certainty (they sometimes get it wrong). SiSoft Sandra is a good one, and usually correct since it's a pro-level app.

You can also d/l AIDA32, and determine your FSB speed plus a whole lot more about your system.

Just keep in mind that the 266MHz FSB is technically only 133MHz because of the double-pumped bus architecture. So it will probably say 133MHz in the BIOS.

This confuses a lot of people which is why the internet is flooded with ill-informed newbies complaining that their FSB is half of what it's supposed to be! :rolleyes:
