Is it true that your memory speed cannot run any faster than your processor's front bus speed? I have a q6600 with a fsb of 1066. Consequently, would any RAM faster than 1066 not do me any good. I was thinking of going to a new motherboard so that I can overclock my cpu. I was going to get DDR3 1600 but I don't want to mess with it if I won't see any speed improvements over slower DDR2. I know there is a lot of debate about DDR3 not being worth the money. That is not my issue. I just want to know if I will see better speeds from the 1600 mem or should I just use 1066 mem because of my cpu.
