    FSB vs. FSB Speed

    I'm confused by FSB vs. FSB Speed. CPU-Z says my FSB is 134.0 Mhz. Right below that it says the Bus Speed is 535.9 Mhz. Currently I have 768 MB of PC 2100RAM. The Mobo will take PC3200 RAM. Is it worthwhile to upgrade to the faster RAM? Or is the FSB too slow to benefit from it? Thanks

    Help me set Priority--CPU or RAM
