  FSB
  
     <hardware> (FSB) The bus via which a processor
     communicates with its RAM and chipset; one half of the
     Dual Independent Bus, the other half being the backside bus
     .  The L2 cache is usually on the FSB, unless it is on
     the same chip as the processor [example?].
  
     In PCI systems, the PCI bus runs at half the FSB speed.
  
     Intel's Pentium 60 processor used a bus speed and
     processor speed of 60 MHz.  All later processors have used
     multipliers to increase the internal clock speed while
     maintaining the same external clock speed, e.g. the Pentium 90
      used a 1.5x multiplier.  Modern Socket 370
     motherboards support multipliers from 4.5x to 8.0x, and FSB
     speeds from 50 MHz to a proposed 83 MHz standard.  These
     higher speeds may cause problems with some PCI hardware.
  
     Altering the FSB speed and the multiplier ratio are the two
     main ways of overclocking processors.
