re: How do AMD Dual Core FSB's work with RAM? Wednesday, November 22, 2006 at 10:42 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MaddMaxx (1989 messages posted) The only reason the ram and old style front side bus ran the same was they were both on the system bus. So, they kept increasing system bus speed. AMD put the front side bus on the cpu so it runs at chip speed running the level one and two cache. This was a good part of the AMD cpu outperforming others. Accessing information from ram does not require equal speeds. The faster each one is the better your performance.
