If you think of the computer's bus as being a freeway that carries data, then it is easy to visualize the bus width as
the number of lanes on this freeway. Naturally, the more lanes
available, the more data that can be carried at any given moment. Bus
widths are generally designated in multiples of eight; a 32-bit bus width has the capability to carry four times the information of an 8-bit bus in the same amount of time.
