we all know are FSB, to what ever it is, but what bus is the mobo and whats the top speed.

I was looking at the fsb for my cpu, and it tests at 608mhz on the level 2 and 333 on level 1, my mobo being 333, suportting 400 thought ddr3200. but what speed is the system bus and how come its not higher or does it run only at 333-400?

I have a hang over btw, so im not doing to well today...

P4s advetise the cpu's fsb as what ever but what about matching up the mobo to it... i thought that the max fsb was 333 last year but its got to be 400 now.. of is it just the components....

AMD FSB's (DDR)
Actual MHz - Datarate
100 - 200 (Athlon/Duron)
133 - 266 (Athlon/Duron/Athlon XP/Athlon MP)
166 - 333 (Athlon XP/Athlon MP)
200 - 400 (Athlon XP)

HT Bus
800MHz - 1600MHz (All AMD64bit processors, Via K8T, Sis755 and nVidia nforce 3 pro 250)
600MHz nVidia's current nforce 3 pro
1000MHz - 2000MHz (2GHz HT Bus, Athlon 64 3700+ and FX53 will support it, Higher Opterons. Possibly the entire Athlon 64/Opteron family)
The HT bus is similar to a FSB, except its not shared with memory.

Intel (Quadpumped)
100MHz - 400MHz (Willamette P4, Celeron)
133 - 533 (Prescott, Celeron, Northwood)
200 - 800 (Prescott, Northwood)

dont realy answer it.

if you look at that ok
FSB amd chip say is 333 and ram 400 but if the mobo is 200FSB surely its a bottle neck. thus no point.
intel are the same FSB being internal to the chip not the mobo or other items.

do ya under stand what im getting at.

Is there a limit of mobos bus speed?

they send data more than once a clock, but I get your point, then should we all be running processors with Bus speed equal to core (i.e. Pre 486-DX2, i.e. the old 486 33MHz with 33MHz FSB)

OK so why does my PC read as.
L1 333mhz
L2 628MHZ.
mobo is a 333 with 400 mhz support (for ram)

The L1 is your system cash and L2 is your CPU cash and the CPU cash is ment to be faster to deal with the protocals and .exe's in normal poerations. Try looking up cpu cash and see what you find, hope this hleps : ) Bill

Guess i can chuck in some specs... 2400xp @ 175x12.5, 1gig 3200 hyper X, 440gig raid, gainward 5600 ultra O/C bye ; )
