Bus Speed
As i understand it, different CPUs have different front side bus speeds.
My SDRAM works on 100mhz. Would I be correct in assuming that the CPU i need to buy also needs to have a FSB of 100mhz, or is this rubbish and a 133 mhz CPU would also work? Mobo works on a 440bx chipset. |

Mobo works on a 440bx chipset. 440BX doesn't officially support anything higher than 100MHz FSB. Unless it's a third party mobo customized for overclocking (like an Abit BX133, etc.) you need a 100MHz FSB processor. Or a 66 Mhz FSB processor, but that's going downhill. |
