is just AMD hype to sell the virtues of the DDR bus. Intel do the
same trick but they multiply the real bus speed by 4x.

Double and quad pumping the bus is not "hype." It's an engineering
technique for transferring data twice, or 4 times for quad, per clock
cycle.

333 is the bus cycle rate, e.g. "Bus Speed," and is the relevant
number from a performance standpoint.

Yes, but David my friend, you said "333MHz FSB". That is plainly incorrect,
the "MHz" part of it.
