FSB 800 Muiltyplyer 12??? new cpu questions

I neva new this would make such decussion. So if HT and FSB are like the same .. or wat u say none is better than the other Y whould u use HT or FSB.. ???

HT is for AMD
"FSB" is for Intel

Go with whatever processor manufacturer is better, and your decision is made up. Technically, though, HT is better, but it doesn't make much of a difference right now.

AMD's still use a front side bus... :P

That's why I put quotes around "FSB". They both use FSB, but AMD uses HT as well, while Intel uses...FSB quad pumped (for the lack of the technical term). That wasn't a very good explanation. Note to myself: research FSB and HT sometime in the near future.
 
Yea AMD still uses a FSB of 200mhz, HT or HyperTransport doesnt have any thing to do with the FSB, is a bridge connect and on his 4800 it should be set at X5, if hes seeing 800 then its set at X4


HyperTransport is primarily a chip-to-chip interconnect, so an important element of its design is its bridge capabilities to board-level bus systems, such as AGP, PCI, PCI-X and PCI Express. That's required for providing a HyperTransport-based system board with access to the huge array of I/O devices, ranging from AGP desktop graphics cards to Ethernet, Fibre Channel and SCSI adapters.
Each HyperTransport link consists of a host device and an endpoint; any of those devices may be a bridge to one of those slower board-to-board networks. The original HyperTransport specification defined the PCI and AGP bridges. HyperTransport 1.05 created a bridge to PCI-X; HyperTransport 2.0, which appeared in 2004, added in the PCI Express mappings and appropriate bridge technology.

Basically what I was saying is that Intel uses FSB as an interconnect, but AMD uses HT to do the same job.
 
They both have a FSB but HT allows AMD processors to talk directly to the hardware and bypass the northbridge chip
