[quote="[GDC]_Polemarcus":0078a]Ok, I understand what your asking, but its imporant to get terms correct.

A Chipset governs how information is traveled from the processor to other components.

The processor is the logic of a computer and functions comparably to a human central nervous system, directing signals from one component to another and enabling everything to happen.

Ok, to answer your question...

When you upgrade your motherboard you will be upgrading your FSB. This may require better, faster memory like DDR 3200. A 100 FSB would never run w/ a P4... so im assuming its quad rate, making it 400 FSB, or 533? Which, in that case would mean your maxed out as far as the motherboard goes. In order to achieve a faster FSB you would need to get both a new motherboard, and processor. The chapest P4 w/ an 800 mhz FSB is 2.4 with hyperthread tech. It retails for about 175. And yes, your FSB could be increased if you upgraded to a 533 mhz processor. But i would recommend getting a new MB, and an 800 processor before that. It will cost more, but its not worth buying a 533 chip since its already antiquated.[/quote:0078a]

But when i checked my system information ( "my computer", "belarc advisor". aida32, and a few others) it stated that bus speed was only "100 mhz"


Another thing, what's quadrate?


thanx for the help btw
