FSB’s and CPU multiplier settings
LockedCan someone explain to me about system buses and CPU multipliers ?. My query is this: I brought a P4 1.5 GHz with a Gigabyte M/B model # GA-8IDML-C that supports a 400MHz FSB with the 845 Intel chipset. When I had a look through the BIOS settings I noticed that it was set with the CPU host frequency to 100 MHz ? is this ?CPU host frequency? the same as the FSB or is it something different? And also the CPU host clock control is disabled ?.. what is the CPU host clock control? The CPU clock ratio is set to 15
I thought that to get a 1.5GHz CPU speed with a FSB of 400 that the multiplier would have been 3.75 (400 x 3.75 = 1500) but obviously my understanding of FSB and CPU multipliers is not good ??.. can anyone explain it to me in easy to understand terms?
