To all,

Many motherboards allow you to set the External Clock in the Bios
settings so that you can have 66, 75, 85 100 and 133 bus speeds. Is this
the bus speed for the cpu only, or does this also set bus speed for PCI
and ISA slots too?

In order for a motherboard to have PCI and ISA slots running at 100 mhz
doesn't it have to have what is called 100mhz  "front side bus"
capabilities?

What exactly is meant by the term "front side bus"?

Thanx
