So to get this straight. In AMDs, theres two multipliers. One is for the CPU and one is for the HT link (is it also called HTT?). So the FSB or external clock?...is 250MHz, and you multiply that, by the CPU multiplier and the HT link multiplier, to get 2.75GHz and 1000MHz(2000MHz), respectively. Also in AMDs, the FSB is the channel that the CPU communicates with every component, and the HT link, is the channel that the CPU communicates with the memory? And is that where the memory controller comes in?
So in the X2 5600+'s situation, the FSB or external clock is 200MHz. Multiply by multiplier of 14, gets you 2.8GHz. And then multiply FSB by 5, this time I guess, to get 1000MHz(2000MHz) for the HT link.
whoa...I'm surprised, my brain hasn't froze on me yet. I'm sorry for the long post.
I'm also sorry, if we hijacked your thread, panzer...
