@mamba
Thats a very good explanation i got it now.

Thanks for your effort.
This is what i have thought after reading your article let me know
if i got it correctly.

CPU to DDR Ram with Memory Controller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is the BW between Processor and DDR Ram 6.4GB/s for the above mentioned AMD Processors @ 400Mhz [200Up + 200Down & 64Bits].

HyperTransport
~~~~~~~~~~
And Connectivity between processor and Motherboard @ 1600MHz - 8GB/s
[800MHz up + 800Mhz down]
But for AMD Athlon 64 4000+ & FX-55 its 2000MHz - 8GB/s
[1000MHz up + 1000Mhz down]

Total
~~~
So a Total of 6.4GB/s[CPU to DDR Ram] + 8GB/s[CPU to Mobo] = Total 14.4GB/s

Thats a mind blowing speed.

all socket 939 boardz gotta have 1000 mhz hypertransport , not just the 4000+ n fx-55

n u just cant add up the 2 , 2 have 14.4 gbps they r seperate things . nice 1 though
