my factory frequency for my e6850 is 333 with a multiplier of 9 = 3 ghz
My memory (factory) is at 800 but I am stable overclocked at 1066 using the bios memory overclocker stuff 2.1v from factory 1.9v
The thing that bothers me is in the diagnostics, it says my system FSB is still 1066!!!
In the past, the max bus was always detected or selectable in the BIOS but not on this one. HOw do I get the FSB bus up to spec without trying to overclock the other settings for Memory and Cpu?
What is a good utility for displaying these things in windows? The mfgr one is not that great.

Look at my win %, then play against cue 50% of the time and tell me how good your win % would be :)
The Gigabyte tech support (yes they actually responded in a timely manner...impressed) says that my version of easy tune (their provided software) may be reading the speed incorrectly and the sent me a link to a new version. They also said if i set my multipler and my clock right, the FSB is 1333.
What are divider settings? Why would it be quad pumped? I dont see a rate/multipler for FSB in my bios

Divider or multiplier settings just sets a clock based on a multiple of another clock, (in this case FSB clock). The 1333 MHz front-side bus number is based on a quad data rate--two synchronous clocks running at 333 MHz with data operations on the rising and falling edges of the clock pulse produces an effective 4x data rate over a standard clock.
Anyways, if you have your multiplier on your cpu set to 9 then you're operating normally, because as you said, your FSB would be 333 MHz, which is the same as 1.333 GHz.
I got a new version of the Bios, reset it to all defaults, and it detected everything right. THen to confirum, I used CPU-z to check and everything is perfect.

most of the utils that come with motherboards are worthless pieces of crap. you really only need the flasher and some of the drivers to get up and running, and even that's a pain because you still have to download newer drivers once you're running. i'd avoid installing any of the stuff on the mobo cd except what's needed to get operational.
