242874 2004-06-08 21:22:00 What is the relationship between the FSB of the chip on a MB and the speed of a CPU.

It can be seen that Celeron recommends high FSB MBs like 600, 800 etc to go with their P4 CPUs while AMD with its XP CPUs the recommended MBs are with just around 300 or 400 FSB. I am wondering what this is all about. As one curious about understanding these things, I am a bit confused about the tech stuff underlying in them. Please some one give me some answers.

242875 2004-06-08 22:42:00 its not really a recommendation. cpu's have a set fsb (celerons,p4,atho's all have different fsb's)so you need a motherboard that also has a matching fsb. tweak'e (174)

242877 2004-06-09 01:19:00 I also understand that the AMD CPUs run at twice the FSB (correct me if I am wrong), so 300 = 600 etc

242878 2004-06-09 01:45:00 and intels run 8x fsb

all in all its fsb run at whatever speed its designed for reguardles of any 2x 4x or 8x sales pitches.
