These are actually simple ... FSB is simply how fast data gets moved from memory to execution by the cpu. If your cpu is the lower number - your cpu limited. If your memory is lower - your memory is the slowest component, and if the FSB has the slower numbers - its the slow beast of the pack.

Ultimately - think of it this way - a convoy is only going to go as fast as the slowest member....Same way here - the faster numbers will simply be "waiting" till the slow part of the equation does its job. Simple as that.

Edit - where it starts getting complicated is when you have multiple cores.....
