in digital systems, the main bus over which information flows. [SILC99][TOP OF THE PAGE
The primary pathway between the CPU, memory and high-speed peripherals to which expansion buses, such as ISA, EISA, PCI and VL-Bus, can connect. Also referred to as the external bus or host bus, and came to be used interchangeably with frontside bus (FSB) following the introduction of Intel's Dual Independent Bus (DIB) architecture in 1997.
consists of electrical pathways, which move information between basic components of the motherboard, including between RAM and the CPU
I refuse to do any bus jokes.
Expressed in megahertz (MHz), this is what connects a computer's processor with its RAM.
The path between a microprocessor and the chipset on the motherboard. This bus may or may not run at the same speed as the memory bus.
Primary electronic pathway inside your computer for moving data between RAM and the CPU. System Bus speed is measured in megahertz. Faster bus speeds provide better performance. Modern Macs use a System Bus Speed of 66 MHz or higher. (See also: Bus, Megahertz)
Also called the frontside bus (FSB), the system bus is the data path connecting the CPU and main memory (RAM). The CPU and memory constantly exchange information across the FSB in order to complete tasks. It is the most important bus in your computer.
Bus between the memory and CPU. Also known as the memory bus, external bus, host bus or front side bus.
