they don't, I think it's mainly due to the CPU now has a built in memory controller, rather than the memory controller being a separate chip on the motherboard.

Quickpath takes the place of the FSB.

yeah they have an integrated memory controller so there is no need for an fsb but dont worry you can still overclock.

people say "but you can still overclock the cpu, why wouldnt you beable to??? also AMD dont use FSB do they they use HT and they have been for sometime am i right, also what does FSB do is it the communicator between the cpu pci cards and memory if so isnt that a good thing

overclocking is still possible, just in a different way.
AMD doesn't have FSB in the latest Phenom processors, this is true, but the processors suck. Hyper Transport can be read up on on Wikipedia. FSB is front side bus, manages the memory sent into the processor or something along those lines.. |
