Hi all,

I use pentium(R)Dual core processor E2180, with Freq 2Ghz, Core
1.35V, FSB 800 Mhz, Socket LGA775 and L2 cache 1MB now the
motherboard i use in my PC is ASUS P5KPL-CM, which in its
specification says that its FSB is 1600 Mhz.

now my question is what exactly FSB speed that is used in my PC, what
is the command in linux to get FSB speed

NB: I use ubuntu linux 8.04.1.

A chain is as weak as its weakest link; 800 MHz. Try dmidecode.

dmidecode allows you to "read" a system and derive the motherboard & CPU
information without having to open the enclosure. From there, you
can consult the specifications from the web sites of the manufacturers.

In your case, you already had the data at hand. I don't know of any
performance tests that will directly measure a system's FSB speed.

I apologize if this information has been misleading or a disappointment
to you. :-(

It's the external clock. The FSB is quad data rate (QDR), so
a 200MHz QDR FSB is usually called FSB800.

Yes... but does the External clock show capability... or actual
speed. I mean if you have slower ram plugged in (for example).
