Bus Speeds or CPU speed

by shanghai sam . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

Does the Bus Speed or the CPU speed determine how fast the system is?

If bus speeds determine the speed at which processed data travels to/between other components, what is the use of having higher (higher than the bus speed) speed CPUs?

In a system with a 1GHz CPU and a motherboard with 133MHz bus speed, although the CPU processes faster than the bus can deliver, wouldn?t the system be functioning at 133MHz??
