Integrated into Chip

[backseatgunner]

Can someone tell me whether an integrated into chip FSB tends to over or under perform 1GHz?

I'm guessing you're referring to the HyperTransport bus used by modern AMD processors. There are two speeds of bus, one is 800 MHz and the other one 1000MHz. generally speaking all s754 processors use 800 while s939 ones use 1000.

there are some exceptions to this rule, such as s754 boards using the Via K8T800 pro chipset where the bus runs at 1000.

hope this helps

So integrated into chip means it will use the speed supported by the chipset?

The speed is adjustable in the bios. The setting used will dictate the hypertransport speed, however, the chipset will dictate the upper limit

under- or over-perform 1GHz "what"?

S754 uses K8T800Pro?

It just means essentially the memory controller is inside the CPU casing

The CPU dictates the upper limit cuz even if you have a crazy OCing board, you will eventually hit a limit

yeah, i had an Abit KV8 pro that used that chipset... i liked that board, shame it died lol

always with the angles
