Front Side Bus: It is a bus between the CPU and host bridge/memory controller hub (the chipset with the green heatsink near the Slot 1 CPU in the case of the ASUS P3B-F). On older computers, the CPU clock is based on the FSB frequency which it gets multiplied. For example: PIII-600 = 6.0 x 100 MHz FSB = 600 MHz.
I'm new to old school computer tech. Is it the blue box with switches on the P3B-F 1.04 motherboard?. I never bothered it.
Yes, some of the DIP switches are for the FSB frequency but it isn't necessary since it has a kind of SoftMenu mode (or JumperFree as ASUS calls it) which allows to set it in the BIOS setup. ASUS has the motherboard manual on their website, which explains it in a detailed way.
I see.
I've been looking everying on the internet for the pdf manual to the P3B-F 1.04 and didn't think to look on ASUS's site themselves. 🤪
Thank you very much!. 👍🏻
