The Front Side Bus is the bus via which a processor communicates with its
RAM and the motherboard's chipset. It is called "Front Side" because it is
one half of the Dual Independent Bus, the other half being the backside bus.

For practical purposes the FSB is the bus speed your processor is running
at. This is typically 66, 100, 133, 200, 400 Mhz. Obviously the faster the
FSB, the faster the CPU is communicating with the motherboard and RAM.
