I'm just curious if integrated FSB is actually running at the speed it is supposed to. Is it sort of like 64-bit where the technology isn't really supported yet? Or is something like FSB a feature that doesn't require something specially formatted or designed to be used?

Another question I have is how do CPUs effectivly operate with such low FSB? My friend has an AMD 2800 and runs HL2 fine. I don't really get how this works since his FSB is 333MHz. Does the FSB not effect the overall speed as I'm making it out to? If the FSB really played a big role in overall output of the cpu, then wouldn't 333Mhz CPU FSBs be very slow computers?
