The frontside bus (FSB) connects the computer's processor to the system memory and other components on the motherboard. They include the system chipset, video card, PCI devices, and other peripherals. It serves as the main path from the processor to the rest of the motherboard and it's speed is measured in MHz.
HyperTransport is an open standard which has been incorporated into AMD's processors. ntegrating HyperTransport into the CPU enables the elimination of the Front Side Bus along with the performance penalties usually associated with that bus.
HyperTransport affects more than the CPU though. HyperTransport is a complete system bus which integrates PCI, PCI-X, USB, FireWire, AGP 8x, InfiniBand, PL-2, SPI, and Gigabit Ethernet.
HyperTransport provides up to 22.4 Gigabyte/second aggregate CPU to I/O or CPU to CPU bandwidth.
Using a CPU with a 3600MHz HTX on a motherboard with support for only a 2600MHz HTX will result in the CPU running at a slower spec and not achieving it's full performance.
Newegg's specs are just a little scewed. The you need to look at the info in () for the mobo, which is 5200MT/s, the CPU's HT speed is 3600MT/s (It will show up as 1800 in the BIOS)and if the mobo spec is 2600 MHz Hyper Transport, and the CPU is 3600 MHz...does that affect anything?
I need help if anyone can help me to understand this?
My CPU has a FrontSide BUSS of 1800 MHz
And my DDR2 is 800 MHz
Now what is going on here my FSB is moving faster then my RAM.
or is this not how it works??
Should I not try to get my RAM to go at the speed of the CPUs FSB?????
Front Side Bus. And I believe it doesnt.
You are right I have an AMD CPU and it has a
3600 MTs
And my DDR2 is 800 MHzSo I know it means that every Clock Cycle my RAM is taking in and puting out Data.
And the speed is 800 MHz
but what about the CPU how is all this working??
