Fix for: Why can't memory clock speeds be as fast as the CPU speed?
Low Risk
At one time it was easy to make a bus that would handle the really low speeds CPUs and memory ran at. Since CPUs occupy a much smaller space, it was easier to make them run at the higher frequencies and run the memory and its bus at a lower attainab…
