its just bus speed multiply by X = processor speed. so a 100 mhz processor set to a 10 multipler would be 1000 mhz. -

I have seen test prep question that go something like this:
What is the clock multipier of a 500mhx processor?
How do you figure without bus speed? -

I know that one
That would be 5... I remember that Pentium II 350 MHz were the first 100 MHz Intel CPUs, 333 was 66, so I guess at 500 they were still running 100 Mhz as well. In some case it would be impossible to tell because some CPUs come in different bus flavours. I'm sure CompTIA won't ask such questions.
