Hi,
I've started looking around at notebooks, and I see that some with the Centrino Pro (Santa Rosa) chipset are starting to appear. These are listed at 800 MHz for the FSB, but they all use only DDR2-667MHz RAM. And so I have two questions...
1. Are 800MHz notebook memory modules in the works? Could anyone guestimate the time frame?
2. How much of a benefit would there be to having the RAM run at an integer multiple of the FSB, over and above the benefit from the extra 800-667=133MHz? Would it even be noticeable?
