NightOwl, I am under the impression that the Willy bus is 100 FSB with 4 data transfers each cycle (somebody correct me if I am wrong). I am under the impression that Foster has the same bus. Joe

NightOwl - RE: "Can anyone here tell me whether or not there are technical design reason's for INTC to design a 400MHz FSB into the P4?" I'll give my shot at the Intel's technical reason: Willy's 400MHz fsb > Mustang's 266MHz fsb ;) AMD at one time hyped Athlons's fsb, so I wonder what they will say when Willy comes out. I think some techweb.com article said Intel may use a 200MHz fsb for the Willy that will hit the mainstream, probably McWilly (TM Kapkan). But it has only been said once so it may not happen.
