help a n00b

Hi everyone, I'm here to further my tech-knowledge. There is one thing that has interedted me just rescently: The information on the first screen seen on startup and in the BIOS softmenu. Some stuff makes sense, other stuff doesn't, and I would really whole-heartedly appreciate it if someone explaned it to me. Thanks!!

GREEN AGP/PCI SYSTEM <--what does this mean?

Main Processor : Intel Pentium(R) 4 2.0GHz(100MHzx20.0)
Memory Testing : 524288K OK

the 100 is the speed the fsb is running at and the 20.0 is the multiplier value to get to cpu speed, right?

Direct Rambus/Host Frequency is 400/100 MHz<-- what does this mean?

Detecting IDE...
-----------------------------------------------------------
BIOS Softmenu III

CPU Name Is Intel Pentium(R) 4
CPU Internal Frequency 2.0GHz
Ammount Of RDRAM Device(s) 32<-- ??
ECC Data Integrity Mode Unsupported

CPU Operating Speed User Define
-External Clock(CPU/PCI) 100MHz/ 33.33MHz I know that the pci bus typically cuns at 33, but y is the cpu at 100?
-Multiplier Factor x8 I thought it was x20?
-AGPCLK/CPUCLK(AGP Clock) 2/3 (66.66MHz) what does this mean?
-Speed Error Hold Disabled

CPU Power Supply CPU Default
-Core Voltage 1.75v increase if overclocking right?

RDRAM Bus Frequency Auto
Differential Current 6x what's this?
[/font]

I know, I'm kind of a n00b, so bare with me. thanks again!

the 100 is the speed the fsb is running at and the 20.0 is the multiplier value to get to cpu speed, right? yes, only your fsb = 400 (quad pumped)/

Direct Rambus/Host Frequency is 400/100 MHz<-- what does this mean? your ram is running in specs, meaning 400 mhz x2

Ammount Of RDRAM Device(s) 32<-- ?? amount of chips on your ram.

-External Clock(CPU/PCI) 100MHz/ 33.33MHz I know that the pci bus typically cuns at 33, but y is the cpu at 100? yes, divider = 3 = 100/3 = 33
-Multiplier Factor x8 I thought it was x20?
-AGPCLK/CPUCLK(AGP Clock) 2/3 (66.66MHz) what does this mean? agp on 66 mhz = 100/3*2
-Speed Error Hold Disabled

CPU Power Supply CPU Default
-Core Voltage 1.75v increase if overclocking right? yes, you have a Williamette PIV, if this is your standard Vcore. Northwood = 1.65v

RDRAM Bus Frequency Auto
Differential Current 6x what's this?
[/font] nothing to worry about.

I know, I'm kind of a n00b, so bare with me. thanks again!
