Hyper Transport link on 754

[patkim]

I hear terms like Hyper Transport link of speed > 1000 MHz on 754 AMD processors / mobos.
Is this something similar to the FSB speed?

In such cases how is it defined in the BIOS to set the correct processor speed?
Thanks..

HyperTransport is a protocol that, when embodied in silicon, shuttles data at a high rate of speed--6.4 gigabytes to 12.8 gigabytes per second--between different chips in the same box. It could be used to link a microprocessor with a chipset that organizes input/output functions, for example, or two communications processors in a router.
