Elmer, Re: 333 Mhz bus. From the article: >The new workstation and server designs take advantage of the >processor's Motion Video Instruction Set multimedia instruction >technology and a 333-MHz front-side bus, which is demultiplexed down >to 83 MHz to support 100-MHz synchronous DRAM. The bus runs at 333Mhz and this is the speed the microprossor see's. However as DRAM doesn't run at this speed the CHIPSET muxes the 333 Mhz bus to 4 83 Mhz bussess. This allows the processor bus to run at 4x the DRAM speed. Now I understand that the K7's front-side bus is flexible and can run at 100Mhz to 200Mhz with future upgrade to 400Mhz speeds. Regards, Kash
