My brother recently purchased a system from Compuwiz1 with a IWill KK266 motherboard. I believe that this motherboard runs at 133MHz front side buss.
I also know that there are DDR T-bird systems that run at 266MHz fsb.
As far as I know there are two types of Athlon chips, those with multipliers set for 100MHz bus operation and those set for 266MHz bus operation.
Now I see Athlon chips being sold with either 200MHz fsb or 266FSB. But I thought that the 200MHz fsb was not the chip, just other parts of the chip set.
It the chip multiplier for a 1000MHz 200MHz Athlon 5 or 10.
How about the multiplier for the 266MHz version of the chip.
Finally, my brother want to get a 1400 T-Bird for his new system. Would he get the 200MHz fsb version of the chip.
I'm really confused on this whole issue and would really appreciate some clarification.
Is the memory and fsb bus not in sync? ie 200Mhz fsb (really 100MHz for processor), but 133MHz for memory?
Very confused,
Mark
