FSB questions...

[Guest]

I thought the 2 common FSB's today were 100 and 133. Why then are processors rated at 200 and 266(obviously double the above values)?

these numbers are with double pumping
i'm pretty sure they are used just for the ddr ram

They are. The athlon just uses a DDR FSB so it is equivalent to 200 and 233

Actually, the FSB is 200 or 266MHz with regular ol SDRAM too.
