Well, what I'm wondering is why the mobos have the FSB listed instead of the CPU itself (unless I'm misunderstanding this).

Typically when I look at a CPU I take note of the FSB, however, on the Athlon 64s, the only thing is "Integrated on chip".

I don't get why they have 800 Mhz boards for $100+ while the same exact company has a cheaper board that's 1.6 Ghz for $80. Is there a reason to buy the 800 over the 1.6?
