What is the FSB called in the BIOS menu? Someone else mentioned this, but I

Good question. FSB stands for Front Side Bus. This is the data link
between the cpu and the chipset. The cpu sets it's internal speed by using
it's multiplier (11.5 in your case) times the clock speed of the FSB to
set the internal cpu speed. On my A64, it called the System bus or
something like that. Let's see, in the KT7 it's called the CPU FSB/PCI
clock. In the K7S8X it's called the CPU Host Frequency. And it may be
called something else in other boards. I don't recall what board or if you
said what board you had, but it should be easy to find.
