"Which Processor"

Which Processors out of these two are better? One has higher clock speed but the other has a higher front side bus... which raises the question what is front side bus exactly?

I'd like to think it would be the typical response anywhere.

"Hey, I want to buy a car! Which one's the best here?
Oh, and could someone tell me what these peddaly things are for?"

Elven Archer... This the typical SR response to a question that clearly belongs in the Pc and Wed design forum :P

Any other response type and we'd worry that SR posters were loosing their touch...

That's usually a good sign .... if you don't know what a part of the CPU does, then should you really be buying one anyway?

I'm scared this person doesn't understand enough to be buying expensive CPUs in the first place.

I thought the front side bus was how fast the CPU can communicate/accept data with/from the RAM.

Easily the AMD processor, the front side bus, is how high off the motherboard the processor stands - measured in a special processor measurement standard.

A witch processor?
For blended, lump-free magical smoothies?
