WOW! this is an awesome, thorough, in depth, and concise all at once. VERY impressive! thanks for all your hard work!
the 946gz info is wrong.
intel's page for the 946gz / pl both say that it is 800bus max. that was the pre launch spec apparently because the day it came out intel themselves released boards that supported the 1066 bus. i know i own one. i have an intel d946gzis which is 1066 bus. there is an entire line of acer computers that supports it too.
apprarently intel then designed another chipset line the 945gz (notice the 5) that is 800 bus and also is in a lot of core 2 based boards (i also have one of these). these 2 types of boards are definitely value boards, but they are just as fast as basically anything else for intel , just they only have 2 ram lots, no raid , 4 sata ... no big deal anyway.
i think the main difference between the 946/945gz and the 945g is that they were supposedly fabbed on 90nm fabs instead of 130nm so they use less power. the 946gz apparently also has a gma3000 igp like the q965 (i guess the main difference between those 2, is the q965 has ich8, vpro, more ram slots)

I am not sure what the truth is. Intel's official specification is FSB 533/800 MHz according to Intel 946 Express Chipset Family Datasheet (June 2006) and Intel 946 Express Chipset Family Specification Update (September 2006). But almost all the 946GZ motherboards support FSB 1066 processors and all the manufacturers except Intel (!) state explicitly FSB 1066 by "overclocking". For example,
ASUS P5B-MX/WiFi-AP
- FSB 1066 (O.C.)/800/533MHz
Please look at the Core 2 motherboard spreadsheet. This reminds me of the situation VIA PT880 Pro (FSB 800)/Ultra (FSB 1066) used in ASRock 775Dual-VSTA/4CoreDual-VSTA both of which support FSB 1066 processors.

AMD-K6-2 (Chomper)'s top speed was 550 MHz:

And there was a K6-2+ with top speed of 570Mhz:

Artanis, thanks for the heads-up. Somehow Chomper Extended and + were completely forgotten. I will include them soon.
