Hi,
I would like to buy a new PC and I saw this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02685776&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=fr&dlc=fr&cc=fr&lang=fr&product=5046842 one :
but I wonder if the http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02668523&lc=en&dlc=fr&cc=fr&product=5046842 motherboard is well designed for the i7 2600...
when you look at the motherboard specifications, it is stated that : front side bus speed is 2.5GT/s...
I do not understand this figure well but I wonder if there is or not a bottleneck due to a "low" FSB speed compared to the processor capabilities.
Thanks for your opinion

If the motherboard FSB is slower than the processor one, then there might be a bottle neck, I would suggest looking for a motherboard supporting the same or similar FSB speed as the processor one.

Thanks for your answer.
As far as I understand, the speed of the processor is 5GT/s and, if the FSB speed is only 2.5GT/s, it looks like to have a lower performance processor...
Best regards,
