I'm not sure what to think. The FSB limitations are determined by the chipset, primarily. Well yeah, a CPU may have a FSB limit as well, but that's not the issue here since all Intel CPU's today can handle 266 MHz AFAIK.

Maybe I didn't look at the right place, but I didn't see any FSB speeds at all for the 975X in it's datasheet. Intel tell us about the FSB in the CPU datasheets instead. So if a chipset is capable of 200 MHz they won't tell us as long as there are no CPU's available with that speed (read Merom).

So as I said in the Yonah thread, it's worth trying 200 MHz in 945 laptops too, you never know! I think it's more likely than getting 266 MHz.
