Determining the FSB

  • if the Processor speed is 500 550 650 700 750 800 850 950, the FSB is 100
  • if the processor speed is 533 566 600 633, or it's a Celeron, the FSB is 66
  • if the processor speed is 600 or 900, it could be 133 or 100
  • if it's a 600 Celeron, it could be 66, 100 or 133
  • if the processor speed is divisible by 3 and it's a Celeron, the FSB is 66
  • if the processor speed is divisible by 3 and it's a PIII, the FSB is 133
  • if the processor is an AMD that's less than 1GB, the FSB is 100
