processor's FSB

[Guest]

well talking about FSB or known as Front Side Bus..
I read that PIV is better in softwares that requires deeper or more FSB.. actually wut part does FSB play in software?accomodate more instructions?

 

[Guest]

can anyone explain?

It determine the speed where the instructions are passed between the CPU and the mem. If a program needs a lot of memory accesing then a faster FSB <i>can</i> help to improve performance.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

SVOL has it right. The P4 runs on a Quad pumped 100 MHz bus so 400 MHz between CPU and RAM.

So PC 133 RAM runs on a 133 MHz Bus
So PC2100 RAM runs on a 266 MHz Bus
So Pc2700 RAM runs on a 333 MHz Bus.

So only PC2700 reaches out towards the bandwidth of RAMBUS (4x100).

I'm waiting for a P4 board with DDR333 or PC2700, USB 4.0 ATA 133. Then I'll buy new.
