Maybe your getting in a little above your head, if your knowledge stops at the overall speed/name of the CPU, then your not going to understand very much I say. Perhaps a little research on the topic may help, I'd post some links but I'm at work and I can't remember them off the top of my head. Google is your best friend here, or you could try:

I just thought an ambiguous question merited and an ambiguous answer.

Either this guy is some kind of troll or he really doesn't understand what a FSB is, I geared my response towards the latter.

Do you explain what an engine is or do you tell him that it could be any one of 166 different engines?
