General FSB processor speed questions

Im trying to understand what the numbers actually means so i can figure out whats faster ect. Basically gameing so id go with athlon when i do decide to get one ( not in my near future ).

I am going off of this site. http://www.directron.com/fsbguide.html

Examples: Examples: The Pentium4 3.06GHz processor has a FSB of 533MHz. Its system clock is 533 / 4 = ~133. The multiplier is 3,060 / 133 = ~23.

The AMD Athlon XP2700+ has a main clock speed of 2.17GHz and a FSB of 333MHz. Its system clock is 333 / 2 = ~166MHz. The multiplier is 2,170 / 166 = ~13

I am 1994.1 GHZ intel pent. 4 processor, FSB 100

So my "clock speed" is 100/4= 25 ( clock speed )

so that means that 3.06 with a fsb of 533/4 is 133 (clock speed) over 5 times faster than mine???

and the athlon is 333/2 166(clock speed) over 6 times faster than mine??

I dont care about the multipiler really cauz i dont care much for big programs like photoshop and 3d porgrams..

also what does it means when FSB is Integrated into Chip??
