Could someone please explain the difference between the two?:) The newer and higher clocked Intel Processors have the 533Mhz bus while the 1.6a and 1.8a's for example have the 400Mhz bus.
Thanks,

the 400s have a quad pumped 100mhz fsb and the 533s have a 133mhz quad pumped fsb. This makes some of the 400s better overclockers since lower multiplyers are better for achieving the high fsb overclocks.
