Why do you say that?  That is not true at all.

There's nothing that says that the FSB _has_ to be half of the CPU 
speed, it just tends to be that way in the Apple product line.  It all 
depends on the clocking.  You can have a 2:1 or 3:1 or 5:2 or whatever. 
  If you look at Pentium or AMD CPUs and FSB speed, there's hardly a 2:1 
to be seen.  3.4Ghz P4s don't run a 1.8Ghz FSB.
