OK, I thought I had the DDR3 requirements all sorted out in my head - instead I think I've just managed to confuse myself.
Right....
Taking the 3 most popular DDR3 speeds:
1066 - So this is for 133MHz memory clock, 533MHz FSB
1333 - So this is for 166MHz memory clock, 667MHz FSB
1600 - So this is for 200MHz memory clock, 800MHz FSB
So assuming a Core 2 Duo CPU with a FSB of 1333MHz.
This is still actually a quad pumped 333MHz FSB (If I remember correctly).
So for stock speeds, 1333MHz DDR3 would be required (333MHz FSB x2).
So assuming a Core 2 Duo CPU with a FSB of 1600Mhz,
This is still actually a quad pumped 400MHz FSB (Remembering...).
So for stock speeds, 1600MHz DDR3 would be required.
Now this looks fine on paper, however I believe this is actually all wrong and I'm using maths for DDR2 and not DDR3 which is worked out differently.
Could somebody just confirm for me at stock speeds:
CPU FSB 1066Mhz = ???? DDR3
CPU FSB 1333MHz = ???? DDR3
CPU FSB 1600MHz = ???? DDR3
Thanks.
