Does anyone know how to find the front-side bus speed of
a processor in windows XP?

Okay, if you're looking for the front-side bus (FSB) then
you must know about mutipliers and all that other crap. I
have no idea how to find your front-side bus speed in XP.
But if you look in your bios you should find something
labeled "Bus Speed" or something like that, and the value
that you see there should be it. And if you divide your
processor speed by the FSB, you'll get your multiplier.
For example: I have enable the boot-diagnostic screen on
my bios. So when it gives me my processor name, it also
displays the FSB speed multiplied by something. So the
equation for a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz processor would be: 133Mhz
(FSB) times 21 (multiplier)= roughly 2800. Get it?
