duo core 2..whats the score?

[ashagplz]

anyone care to get me up to speed on the core 2 duos?

im a bit confused...do these cpus work in dual channel mode like the amds? so memory running at 266 would mean they have a fsb of 1066? thats the native bus speed for the chip right?

i see systems using ddr 800 so that doesnt seem to work.....

so im confused what memory to get for say the e6700....what would be native and what would give headroom for a conservative overclock?

which is why i dont understand why systems use ddr 800..is this too conform to the motherboard and so runs asyncronously
