Is the Front Side Bus the same thing as the motherboard host bus?
I thought that only the data width (in bits) of the motherboard host bus
and the processor's external bus had to match up?? Do you mean
to tell me that they're speeds (in MHz) also have to match up?? How can I
tell what speed FSB my processor supports?
What would happen if the motherboard took 72-pin EDO SIMMs
and I put in 72-pin SDRAM or FPM SIMMs?? Would it just not
work or could I damage the whole motherboard?
