Hey Guys,
Just up in London to see my Dad and he has recently just purchased a MacBook Pro 17", his is the new Santa Rosa 2.4 one, mines the "old" 2.33 one. His is basically exactly the same as mine except the CPU.
We were geeking out and got talking about the specs, i was intrigued to what FSB his CPU was to which he replied 800mhz. I then remembered that when we first go into "About this mac" he said that the RAM was 667mhz, surely this is wrong?
Maybe its me thinking about PC's too much, having the FSB the same as the RAM speed to stop bottlenecking, do you need this on a mac.
Surely this slows down the Chip considerably making it no more faster than my MBP effectively, except the marginal .07ghz. Am i right in thinking this?
Thanks in advance,
Josh
