Hi,
Okay, hoping someone here can clear up something for me. I've read that the Front Side Bus is the speed that your cpu can communicate with the system memory and other drives. I've been looking at computer parts online with the intention of wanting to build my own computer, and I've seen some nice motherboard/cpu combo deals on tigerdirect.com. My question is does the listed FSB of the motherboard restrict the bus speed of the processor? For example, in this combo, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...details.asp?EdpNo=1949712&sku=MCM-K8M8MS-3300
the motherboard has an FSB of 800mhz while the processor's bus speed is 1600mhz. Since the motherboard is only 800, will it only let the processor work at 800? Perhaps I have this all wrong and someone can clear it up for me. Thanks
