	Front side bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This bus and the cache memory connected to it is faster than accessing the system RAM via the front side bus.
		With bus speeds increasing rapidly, it is often necessary to run the RAM at a lower frequency than the system bus in order to stay within the limitations of the DRAM modules on the memory stick.
		The front side bus as it is traditionally known may be disappearing.

	What is FSB? Front Side Bus Info
		The front side bus on a computer connects the processor to the north side bridge, which comprises the memory bus, PCI bus and AGP bus.
		For example, a processor running at 550MHz might be using a 100 MHz FSB; this means there is a clock multiplier setting of 5.5, thus the CPU is set to run at 5.5 times the MHz speed of the front side bus: basically equating to 100 MHz x 5.5 = 550 MHz.
		Typically a FSB today is dual or quad channel, meaning a FSB speed advertised as being "333 MHz" may actually be 166 MHz dual channel, effectively meaning 333 MHz of speed.

	FSB - Front Side Bus
		Front Side Bus is the data channel connecting the processor, chipset, DRAM, and AGP socket.
		FSB is described in terms of its width in bits and it's speed in MHz.
		Typically the FSB is 100Mhz or 133Mhz, but overclockers often manipulate this value to increase the speed at which their processor runs.

	Front Side Bus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Memory Bus on the Athlon and G4 is 64 bits of data running at either 100 or 133Mhz, the PCI bus on desktop computers is normally 32bit at 33Mhz.
		The Front Side Bus speed for the G4+ is 133Mhz, and the speeds of the processor available are all multiples of this.
		Obviously the faster the front side bus is the better, since it improves the overall bandwidth from the processor to the memory, but having a much faster Front Side Bus is only helpful if it is being used by faster memory and peripheral buses.

	Front side bus
		For example, a processor running at 550MHz might be using a 100Mhz FSB; this means there is a clock multiplier setting of 5.5, thus the cpu is set to run at 5.5 times the Mhz speed of the front side bus: basically equating to 100Mhz x 5.5 = 550Mhz.
		The speed at which the PCI bus is set at is a division of the front side bus's speed: eg, a 166mhz front side bus will mean the PCI bus is set to run at 1/5th of the speed of the FSB.
		Usually a motherboard will have FSB speed increments at which these PCI dividers are designed with: typically 66mhz, 100mhz, 133mhz, 166mhz and 200mhz; meaning dividers of one half, one third, one forth and so on, to go with the standard bus speeds.

		Front Side Bus (FSB) ist ein Begriff aus der Computertechnik.
		Die Leistung des Front Side Bus wird in der Regel mit der Taktfrequenz des Busses angegeben, oder bei DDR- bzw.
		Allerdings entstanden dadurch auch immer wieder falsche Angaben zur Taktfrequenz des FSB: der FSB dieser Prozessoren läuft auf einer Taktfrequenz von 100 bis 266 MHz (FSB 400 bis FSB 1066), jedoch wird er immer wieder gerne, wenn auch falsch, als 400- bis 1066-"MHz"-FSB bezeichnet (auch Marketing-MHz genannt).

	Front Side Bus Speed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The CPU bus speed also known as "front-side bus speed" (or FSB) and is the speed at which the CPU communicates with RAM memory and the motherboard chipset.
		Athlon XPs have a 266MHz, 333MHz, or 400MHz FSB, Pentium 4s have a 400MHz, 533MHz, or 800MHz FSB, and socket 478 Celerons have a 400MHz FSB.
		The highest front side bus speed available to the public to-date is 800MHz—its high bandwidth between the processor and the rest of the system improves throughput and performance.

	Front Side Bus - FSB
		Short for Front Side Bus, FSB is also known as the Processor Bus, Memory Bus, or System Bus and connects the CPU with the main memory and is used to connect to other components within the computer.
		The FSB is now another important consideration when looking at purchasing a computer Motherboard or a new computer.
		While most motherboards will allow you to set the FSB to any setting, ensure that the FSB is properly set unless you plan to Overclock the computer.

		The reason is that the speed of SDRAM is dependent upon the speed of the front side bus (FSB) in the motherboard.
		The front side bus (FSB), sometimes just called the bus, is the main circuitry highway in the PC that enables all data to get from one place to another.
		Note that the speed of the FSB is not the same as processor speed.

		The former referred to bus systems that were designed to be used with internal devices, such as graphics cards, and the latter to buses designed to add external devices such as scanners.
		An internal bus connects all the internal components of a computer to the motherboard (and thus, the CPU and internal memory).
		These types of buses are also referred to as a local bus, because they are intended to connect to local devices, not to those in other machines or external to the computer.

		For the software side, the Operating System (OS) is to be installed first, followed by drivers for the motherboard, graphics and sound card (if the motherboard has on-board sound or other components, drivers will be on the motherboard's CD).
		To change the Front Side Bus, one enters the computer's BIOS before boot-up, goes to the Frequency/Voltage Control section (which may be named slightly different on various motherboards).
		With a change in the Front Side Bus, it is extremely important to unlock the Voltage setting and change it, depending on how fast the computer is being set.

	Understanding System Memory and CPU Speeds - A layman's guide to the Front Side Bus (FSB)-Best Computer Online Store ...
		The speed of the front side bus depends on the processor and motherboard chipset you are using as well as the system clock.
		From the system clock your PCI bus speed is determined via the use of a divider and then your AGP bus speed is determined by multiplying the PCI bus speed by 2.
		Now that you understand the performance enhancements in the FSB of a processor it is important that you understand how to figure out the processor multiplier and the proper system clock.

		Now after reading I have seen that the actual front side bus is on the cpu.
		The FSB is controlled in the BIOS, but the multiplier is read from the CPU by the BIOS and then multiplied.
		The CPU itself dictates what FSB can be used, as it is set to run at a certain frequency and you can't run it at full speed if you use a lower FSB due to the multiplier lock.

	What is Front Side Bus? - Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums
		The front side bus is the speed of the bus between the CPU and northbridge and southbridge (chipset) of the motherboard.
		A higher front side bus is desireable for higher clock speeds and general higher performance.
		That bus is actually a 200MHz clock signal that transfers data on the rising edge, high, falling edge, and low pulses of the clock signal; P4 is sometimes called a "quad-pumped" bus.

	GamePC - Shattering The 1 GHz FSB Barrier : Intel’s 3.46 GHz P4 EE
		The speed of a system’s front side bus (the speed of which data is transferred between the processor and the system's "Northbridge" controller of the chipset) is a vital component of any modern system.
		The last time Intel raised their front side bus speeds was in mid-2003 with their first "Northwood" Pentium 4 processors, which jumped from 533 MHz FSB to 800 MHz FSB.
		In order to sidestep this issue, Intel has decided to introduce 1066 MHz FSB technology first on their Pentium 4 "Extreme Edition" processor, which is based on their "Gallatin" processor core, which does not appear to exhibit Prescott's front side bus issues.

	Front Side Bus - TechSpot OpenBoards
		FSB detection isn't always easy as different manufacturers use different chipsets as well as different logic to determine how it operates.
		CHKCPU, a nifty little cpuid program for DOS, reported a board that was running at 50mhz FSB (socket 5 with an AMD k5 in it) as 375.5mhz, with a 1.5x multiplier.
		For example the p4s either run on fsbs of 100 or 133, the 400s run on 100s and the 533s run on the 133s.

		Modern CPUs and RAM come in a variety of ratings for front-side bus speeds and must be matched with an appropriate chipset (which determines the motherboard's front-side bus speed).
		When the front-side bus speed is the same as the speed of the DDR RAM, this combination is described as being "synchronous." It is the motherboard chipset (within the north bridge) that specifies the front-side bus speed.
		The system bus is the interface between the north bridge's memory controller and the processor.

	PCWorld.com - Intel Rides a Faster Bus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Intel is planning to introduce a faster front-side bus on an upcoming version of its Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor that will help the firm increase the performance of its chips by improving a crucial bottleneck in system performance.
		Most chip designers feel that the once the clock speed of the processor exceeds four or five times the speed of the front-side bus, the processor is charging ahead of the bus and wasting time waiting for the bus to feed it data, says Dean McCarron, principal analyst with Mercury Research in Cave Creek, Arizona.
		A faster bus will allow the company to increase the clock speed of its chips and take full advantage of those extra clock cycles, he says.

		The speed of the bus (the pathways taken by data moving around in the computer).
		So if the CPU is running at say 200mhz, and the data bus can only run at 66mhz to the Ram, then you can see that there would be a huge bottleneck that would leave the CPU waiting for data from the RAM.
		Well we now have mother boards coming out with what is called the 100mhz front side bus (the back side bus goes to the L2 RAM cache and has always been faster than the front side bus which goes to main RAM and the rest of the system).
