What is the multiplier if your front side bus is 133 MHz and your processor runs as 2.53 GHz?
Poppymike71
Im guessing your multiplier would be around 19x or so, you could check this by entering your BIOS at startup and checking in there.
Ususally to enter the BIOS you hit one of the following:
-Esc
-F2
-F10
-F12
-Delete
One of these usually enters the setup.

Why is my 1.4 GHz Socket 370 processor running at only 1 GHz?
Your motherboard probably does not support a 133 MHz Front Side Bus, but instead runs at only 100 MHz. Processor speed is determined by an internal multiplier in the processor times the speed of the Front Side Bus. A 1.4 GHz Pentium III had a multiplier of 10.5 133 MHz * 10.5 = 1.396 GHz 100 MHz * 10.5 = 1.050 GHz So, you will not be able to run the processor much higher than 1 GHz. You may be able to overclock your motherboard and raise the speed of the processor close to its rated speed, but other components, such as your video card or sound card, may malfunction at a higher speed.
How is CPU speed calculated?
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
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.
What is part of the motherboard and connects the processor to main memory?
Front side bus, which is part of the mother board
What bus Inside the processor housing data instructions addresses and control signals?
front side bus
Is bus speed the same thing as processor speed in a MacBook?
Not exactly. "Bus speed" probably refers to the Front Side Bus speed. The speed of a computer's processor is a multiple of the FSB speed. For example, a MacBook with a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo has a multiplier of nine. 2400 MHz / 9 = 266.66 MHz FSB. Since modern front side buses transfer data four times per clock cycle, as opposed to just one, the effective data transfer rate is increased fourfold, to about 1066 MT/s (megatransfers per second).
What is the name of the front end part that runs from side to side and supports the lights and radiator?
grill
When evaluating CPU performance which feature do you need to consider?
Amount of cache memory, speed of processor, speed of the front side bus
Can a Pentium II processor be upgraded to a Pentium III?
In some cases, yes. If the BIOS of the motherboard has the proper microcode updates to control the processor, and the FSB (front side bus) is at a high enough rate, you can install a Pentium III processor on the older board.
What is the reason for computer buses?
Computer buses enable different parts of the computer to communicate. For instance, the Front Side Bus allows the processor to communicate with memory.
On-package L2 cache?
An L2 cache is built directly on the processor chip as an advanced transfer cache. Data is transmitted via the front side bus.
How fast is the E5200 processor?
The Intel Pentium E5200 processor was released in the third quarter of 2008. It has two cores, each with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz. The size of the L2 cache is 2MB and the speed of the front-side bus is 800 MHz.
