One of the small things I haven't been able to fully understand... I Googled it, but I still can't really get a straight answer.
I DO understand that my FSB is 100 MHz, and my multiplier is 18, so therefore 18 x 100 = 1800, which is my core speed.
But where does the bus speed fit into this? I thought the bus speed was supposed to be double the FSB, because of DDR, but in CPU-Z, mine's 400 MHz, which is four times as much...
And why on mobo specs do they sometimes state it supports, for example, a 800 MHz FSB, when they're really talking about the bus speed (atleast I think...)?
Someone want to help me understand this, please?
