Hi

As the title asks, what does FSB stand for and how does it effect high end and low end motherboards?

Regards

The only FSB would be Front Side Bus. It used to be the bus that a CPU would use to connect to the memory and north bridge. However it is no longer used, as Intel and AMD have both gone to IMCs (integrated memory controllers) and use either DMI/QPI (Intel) or HTT(AMD) for connecting to their other board components.

FSB is pretty much not used anymore and is no longer relevant to PCs. It is much like IDE or AGP.
