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.
