What is Bus Speed?
Bus Speed: The rate at which a computer's
PROCESSOR BUS can transmit data, which is a crucial determinant of its
overall performance. The bus speed of most personal computers remained
at 33 MHz for a decade, only recently being increased to 100 MHz, and
technologies such as the two-level processor CACHE, DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS
or the Accelerated GRAPHICS PORT can be seen as ways to surmount this
restriction by bypassing the processor bus.
