How To Determine A Computer Bus Speed
When discussing bus speed, the front-side bus is what is being referred to, but another important bus speed reference is the memory bus. The front-side bus is what connects the computer processor (CPU) to the Northbridge, which then connects to the computer memory (RAM) via the memory bus. The Northbridge “bridges” the gap between the CPU and RAM and the two communicate via the two buses. In general, the faster the bus speed, the faster the computer....
