HTT is the way that Internal calculations are performed and FSB is the speed at which the CPU can be feed Data to process.

AMD has been using HT for some time now, as i am sure you are aware. Very forward-thinking of them, as HT eliminates all the proprietary system-specific FSB crud. It seems to be all-around better in general.

I'd very much like to see AMD get their act together a bit better, especially in production, somewhat in design. While they are great for keeping Intel a bit more honest, their chip errata and dead cores are seriously hindering them, even though their overall design has a lot of good ideas.

More power to them!

Since the restructure they have sold off their Manufacturing Plants and are concentrating on Design. So as the deal to sell off the Manufacturing Plants didn't include a agreement to only buy AMD's Chip Designs I'm not even sure that AMD has a long term Future.

If something else was to became available that suited the Manufacturing Plants Owners AMD would be left out in the cold with no one to produce their products.

This isn't a good thing at all but as AMD willingly went into it with their eyes open I have to wonder if this is just another of their Get rich Quick Schemes that have constantly backfired on them since they began. They where heading in the right direction a while ago taking on the design & manufacturing of the Complete Package of M'Board Chip Sets, and CPU's so that they could offer comparable products to Intel but with the sell off they seem to have taken another massive backward step again.

So it looks good for you.

You can double-check your mobo at Gigabyte for peace-of-mind, though. The board may have more than one revision.
