The front side bus connects the CPU on the motherboard to the Northbridge. Front side bus speed is in preference to how much data can move across the bus simultaneously, and is measured in megahertz.

In a Pentium CPU why is the back side bus half as wide as the front side bus?

The backside bus is 32-bit wide and the front side bus is 64-bit wide. This because of the dual processing design.


2 components that must utilize the same front side bus speed?

Two components that must use the same front side bus speed are the processor and the system board. However, modern computer system boards support a range of FSB speeds and hence a range of processors.


What speed is the speed at which data moves on a bus?

computer bus speed FSB starts from 66 MHz to over 800 MHz.


What is the difference between 800MHz front side bus and 1066MHz front side bus?

Think of the front side bus in your computer as if it were a highway. The faster the bus, the wider the highway. The cars represent the data being sent between the processor and the memory. If you have an 800mhz bus, it is like having, say 10,000 cars on a 4 lane highway. If you have a 1066mhz bus, the highway is widened to 6 lanes with the same amount of traffic. Therefore with the faster bus, there are more lanes for cars to travel on so the traffic moves faster than on the narrower (slower) highway (bus). If you could really use the extra speed (gaming, video editing, CPU intensive work), then you should opt for the faster bus. If two cpus have the same clock rate, architecture and cache size with the only difference being the bus speed, the one with the faster bus will be better. Hope this helps.


What is the speed of computer?

The speed can be determined in various ways. The clock speed of the processor, the speed of the hard drive, the speed of the bus carrying information from the processor to the memory and the speed of the memory. dual or quad core processors running at more than 2.5 Ghz is fast a hard drive that has a spindle speed of 7500 to 10,000 RPMs is fast 1066 or 2000 Mhz of front side bus is fast 800 Mhz or more memory speed is fast

What is FSB or front side bus on a computer?

AnswerFSB or Front Side Bus is a bus (group of signals) which connects the computer processor to the North Bridge/memory controller. FSB speed decides the speed of memory acess.Also see,http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_side_bus- Neeraj Sharma

What does the term FSB mean?

It means Front Side Bus (FSB) it is the wire (bus) that carries information to your CPU. The speed of the FSB is how fast the info will be delivered.


What is the common frequency of a system bus on the motherboard?

There is no "common" frequency. As new technology develops, the speed of the front side bus and newer system buses continuously increases.
