Meathead - Re: "Why would Timna need a processor (FSB) bus? "

The CPU needs a CLOCK - and the FSB (Front Side Bus) is sometimes used to refer to THIS CLOCK - The CLOCK input to the CPU - which is then multiplied internally inside the CPU.

A front Side Bus won't be strictly necessary with the Timna - but the CLOCK will be !

For external main memory, the FSB Clock is generally assumed to be the Synchronous CLOCK for the main SDRAM memory , although multiples (or fractional multiples) of the FSB can be used to drive the external SDRAM - or RAMBUS in the case of Timna and Camino.
