I've built my own systems before and am looking to do so again, but I am behind on today's technology. I'm confused about the different DDR ram out there and how it relates to FSB speed. Does anyone ...

What exactly is a FSB, and when you see speeds reported of 533mhz or 1066mhz, what is really the speed of memory? The Front Side Bus (FSB) connects the CPU to both the memory bus (where the RAM is ...

The Front Side Bus on an ASUS motherboard enables the central processing unit and the northbridge, also known as the memory controller hub, to communicate with one another. The speed of the FSB, in ...

Processors continue to get faster and faster, but the frontside bus (FSB) remains one of the biggest bottlenecks on system performance. Most major manufacturers, including Intel, Motorola and AMD, are ...

Intel is shipping a pair of new Itanium 2 processors that aim to boost the chips’ performance in compute intensive applications by increasing bus transfer speeds. Both new CPUs run at 1.6 GHz and ...

Intel's Core architecture has really made a huge impression on the CPU war between AMD and Chipzilla. Not long ago Intel was in hot water over its Peltier-element temp running Prescott based CPUs, ...

And now the stock values of the most popular Core 2 Duo CPUs: In the above table, we've left out the Xtreme models since, as we've said, this guide is aimed at ordinary folk not hard-core enthusiasts.

The higher-speed version will help set the stage for the forthcoming dual-core Montecito Itanium processors, which also will use a 667-MHz FSB. The improved front-side bus bandwidth permits data ...
