I am buying a new AMD 750mhz Thunderbird chip adn it says it has 256K cache. The board im looking at says it supports 200 bus speed. are these 2 different things? bdg1983 11-30-2001, 04:46 PM Yes they are, so there is no need to worry. bwal 11-30-2001, 04:50 PM Great I thought so and I felt dumb to even ask the question but hay what are your gonna do. You know what the Acronim for Asume is. Thanks for your help TacKat 11-30-2001, 06:24 PM 256K of cache is like RAM built directly into the processor. It is the fastest memory available to a processor so the more stuff you can fit in there, the faster it can go. Bigger is better. A bus speed of 200 MHz means that the processor talks to the rest of the hardware (via the motherboard) at that speed. Again, the bigger the number the better because the processor can get things done faster. justlinux.com
