Meckano!

You are one surprisingly man. Great job. Keep it up!

According to what you are talking about: All is relatively. The motherboard can supports 1 GHz hypertransport but if the system bus only has 800 MHz and the memory 200 MHz speed the speed is not higher than 200 MHz. The CPU can handle all this but when the processor works and will read/write to the disc it will not run faster than 200 MHz if the disc supports 200 MHz. If the disc only can handle 175 MHz the read/write function will be slower. It’s the same for the memory. If the system bus has 1 GHz, the Memory 1 GHz and the disc could have 1 GHz, we should have the worlds fastest and powerful PC’s of today.
I think it not helps if a PC has 2.200 or 2.400 MHz. Today it is the system bus, the memory and the disc that is the bottleneck.
From my Users manual:

Brand Name: AMD Athlon ™ 64 Processor 3200+
Frequency: 2.244 MHz.
CPU Operating speed: 2.200 (200)
External clock: 204 MHz
Multiplier factor: x 11 (11x 204=2.244)

As we can see: The CPU seems only works at 2.200 MHz. (11x200). I don’t know why the operating speed will be 2.200 MHz. Is 44 MHz of no use? Another sake: My memory is running in only 160.5 MHz. It should be better if it runs at 200 MHz ca.

I don’t know how the actual CPU operating speed Beernknud has on his AMD. I think it is lower than the frequency or perhaps not.
