yer i have no idea what FSB means.
lol :helpsmile:
FSB = Front Side Bus
fsb = Front Side Bus
edit: lol must have been at the same time
k thanx, now what does that mean in terms of purchasing a mobo...
is fsb400 good?
One issue of confusion is the labeling of front side bus speeds. Typically a FSB today is dual or quad channel, meaning a FSB speed advertised as being "333 MHz" may actually be 166 MHz dual channel, effectively meaning 333 MHz of speed. Nowadays, PC (X86) CPUs work with front side bus speeds ranging from 133 MHz dual channel (266 MHz effective) to 200 MHz quad channel (800 MHz effective).

looking at my specs, would you say that an asus a7n8x deluxe would improve overall performance.... fsb 400... i duno if its dual channel..?

try this link for Fsb

here is more on that asus board

it is the small things that usually drive us mad
okay, you know how the clock speed describes how fast the processor does its work internally? the front side bus speed describes how fast it communicates with the motherboard.Originally posted by dray_02@3 February 2004 - 14:36
How Important Is Fsb?
the FSB speed is important, just like the processor speed, RAM speed, hard drive speed, etc are important. because they're all working together as a system, so when the speed of one part lags behind the others, it slows the whole thing down. of course, there is no "perfect" balance of these parts, there's always going to be some component which is not quite keeping up with the others-- so the best you can ever do is try to put together a set of components that sort of go well together, instead of a really fast component here and a really slow component there.

brilliant thanks alot guyz
oh yeah i forgot to ask,
when i give my old motherboard to my cousin... (my MS 6367), will he have to install any drivers? or nething like that? or will it run alright without any major hassles.
