Apple's Focus on Frontside Bus Speed Lauded

in this TechNewsWorld.com article carried on E-Commerce Times. The frontside bus is the main channel that connects the CPU to other parts of the system. The CPU communicates with the motherboard chips, RAM, the graphics card and other peripheral buses through the frontside bus. So the speed of the frontside bus, along with RAM speed, determines the computer's overall speed maybe more so than the clock speed of the CPU. Apple has dramatically increased the frontside bus speed from 167 MHz in the Dual 1.42 GHz Power Mac G4 to 1 GHz in the Dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5. In addition, Apple's G5 frontside bus is two-way so their is no wait time. The G5 CPU is made by IBM and not Motorola as incorrectly mentioned in the article. [Dana Baggett]
