Advanced T-bird questions.

[Dputiger]

If the T-bird is running on a 200 Mhz FSB, how does its RAM keep up? I was under the impression that SDRAM ran at the same speed the FSB did--but as far as I know the fastest RAM made is 133 Mhz. How is this possible?

Also, if the DUron is a stripped down T-bird, can it be pushed to a 200 Mhz FSB?

the T-bird and duron both run on a 200MHz bus that is diff from the memory bus
you have a chip bus, memory bus, agp bus, pci bus, isa bus ?

Actually, the duron, t-bird and athlon all run at a 200 mhz FSB, but the rest of the bus is seperate.

Only the "Athlon System Bus" is running at 200mhz:

Aha...I see...how is the Duron/T-bird Bus different from older designs? (does someone have another picture? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif )

Also, to OC a Duron do you have to keep raising the FSB to 201, 202, etc? Or is it possible to OC the RAM bus? Does Duron have a 100 Mhz RAM bus or a 133?
