CPU speed is calculated off of the Front Side Bus (FSB) speed and the CPU Multiplier. Don't confuse HyperTransport (HT) or Quad Data Rate (QDR, aka Quad Pumping) with FSB. HyperTransport and QDR have "replaced" FSB, but they too rely on the FSB. FSB was formerly used as a transport medium for data between the processor, memory and northbridge chipset and is now used more just as a reference clock frequency. FSB * Multiplier = CPU Speed For example, my Sempron 3400+ runs at 2.0 GHz with an 800MHz HyperTransport bus. It runs on a 200 MHz FSB bus and has a multiplier of 10. The HyperTransport multiplier is 4. 200 MHz FSB * 10x Multiplier = 2,000 MHz CPU 200 MHz FSB * 8x HT Multiplier = 800 MHz HyperTransport bus
speed of a processor is measured by CMU(Clock Multiplier Unit). Formula:(speed of processor in Hz)/(FSB of processor)= CMU
Yes. The fastest processor you could upgrade to is a 1.1 GHz Pentium III (unless your computer supports a 133 MHz FSB). Make sure you purchase one with the 100 MHz FSB. Otherwise it'll be running underclocked.
It does not "see it", it simply displays the frequency it is running at!Try changing the multiplier or FSB frequency in BIOS to make it run at 500MHz.Some BIOSes on old boards were poorly written and "forgot" to raise the FSB.
Pentium 4 vs. Dual CoreThere are MANY differences between these two generations of Intel CPU's. Most notably, Duo Core CPU's possess two processing cores opposed to the Pentium 4's single processing core. While a Duo Core CPU may be operating at a lower overall operating frequency, it is still much more powerful then a Pentium 4 considering it's improved FSB speed, cache size, multiple cores, efficiency, etc.
Based on available information, the board supports a FSB speed of 133 MHz, and thus the fastest processor that can be installed would be an Intel Pentium III at 1.4 GHz.
It means Front Side Bus (FSB) it is the wire (bus) that carries information to your CPU. The speed of the FSB is how fast the info will be delivered.
Yes, there are some "no name" laptop brands that use desktop CPU-s onto their laptop motherboards. I have a laptop of "Vobis" manufacturer and I'm using Pentium 4 , 2.4 GHz, 533 MHz FSB desktop CPU in that machine.
Sort of. The processor is an Intel Coppermine-core processor that runs at 733 MHz. It is soldered onto the motherboard in BGA2 fashion, similar to that found in many older Pentium III and Celeron laptops. The processor can't be considered a Pentium III because it has half the L2 cache of a normal Pentium III at that speed and FSB. It's not a quite a Celeron either, though, since no other Celeron in that layout had that high an FSB (133 MHz in the Xbox vs. 100 MHz for other mobile Celerons. It thus sits somewhere in between in terms of performance.Architecturally, it is no different than a Pentium III, though. Linux applications written for the Pentium III can run without modification on the Xbox.
In a way both are correct. The FSB (Front Side Bus) is the direct connection between the CPU (or Central Processing Unit (computer Processor)) and the Northbridge (which generally has the memory controller on it).
You can use any LGA775 Pentium 4, Pentium D, or Celeron D with an 800, 533, or 400 Mhz FSB.
Some motherboards will have the ability to overclock the FSB (Front Side Bus) and make the processor run faster. Many do not, however, and thus the Pentium III can only be run at it's rated speed.
