The Front Side Bus is the l bus via which a processor communicates with..
Here is where I should of wrote
  < the installed main RAM>

Let me add that the Local Bus is the highway on the motherboard. The data
path if you will.
The more lanes on the highway ... 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit Bus....the more
data can travel down the highway.
The higher the speed limit.....100, 200,400 Mhz ...the faster the data can
travel.
