Are my E6750 settings correct?

Mmm I think I understood something. Seems my FSB goes up when there is load on the CPU? Explains why it's at 2 GHz when I'm on the desktop. Fired Tabula Rasa and it went to to x 8.0 multiplier from x 6.0. Neat didn't know that.

x8 is the default setting, speedstep knocks it down to x6 when idle. you can disable it in bios if it freaks you out, but it's good for saving power in many cases. I leave it disabled b/c I run DC 24/7, but for most people it's a nice feature.
