I'm looking at some Athlon 64's and I noticed that the FSB says "Integrated into chip" and that the mobos actually have the FSB speeds on them.

One board had a 1.6ghz FSB while the others had 800 mhz w/ hyper transport. Isn't hyper transport the same as the hyper threading in the P4s? If so, then it's pretty much a trade off about whether or not you want a dual-CPU-like system or a single CPU one with an outstanding FSB?
