The front side bus formerly connected the Northbridge Controller to the CPU (a way of communication) it still has the same communication, but it is not called FSB, it is called a HyperTransport Bus.

∙ 11y agoFSB (Front Side Bus) is also known as the Memory BUS or System BUS and connects the CPU with the main memory and is used to connect to other components within the computer. The FSB can range from speeds of 66MHz, 100MHz, 133MHz, 266 MHz, 400MHz, 533MHz and beyond.
System bus: The bus that connects the CPU to main memory on the motherboard. I/O buses, which connect the CPU with the systems other components, branch off of the system bus.
Backside bus: A microprocessor bus that connects the CPU to a Level 2 cache. Typically, a backside bus runs at a faster clock speed than the frontside bus that connects the CPU to main memory. For example, the Pentium Pro microprocessor actually consists of two chips -- one contains the CPU and the primary cache, and the second contains the secondary cache. A backside bus connects the two chips at the same clock rate as the CPU itself (at least 200 MHz). In contrast, the frontside bus runs at only a fraction of the CPU clock speed.

What is the Main Function Of System Bus?
The bus between the CPU and memory on the motherboard. Also called the memory bus, front-side bus, local bus, or host bus.
What does the front side bus connect?
The main function of the front side bus is to connect the computer to the motherboard. It also connects the computer to the RAM or random access memory.
What is front side bus speed?
The front side bus connects the CPU on the motherboard to the Northbridge. Front side bus speed is in preference to how much data can move across the bus simultaneously, and is measured in megahertz.
In a Pentium CPU why is the back side bus half as wide as the front side bus?
The backside bus is 32-bit wide and the front side bus is 64-bit wide. This because of the dual processing design.
The main bus on the motherboard is?
front side Bus...(FSB) or System Bus
The CPU is connected to the system memory by the?
The Front Side Bus (FSB) connects the processor (CPU) in your computer to the system memory.
Two other names for system bus?
(FSB) front side bus host bus
In a Pentium the front side data bus is how many bits wide?
For the Pentium the front side data bus is 64 bits wide. The back side is 32 bits wide.
Front side bus speed is measured in?
Megahertz
The main bus on the motherboard that communicates with the CPU memory and the chipset is known as the what?
System Bus or Front side bus
What are two other names for system bus?
System bus, memory bus, front side bus (FSB), host bus, local bus, or external bus.
What is full form of rams FSB?
front side bus
