OK here it is simplified ... the clock is just that a clock that is built into your computer ... but this clock keeps very very accurate time... the rest of the computer watches the clock and is syncronized with it ... the bus speed is the speed of the electronic chip that controlls the BUS... the bus is simply the wires (etched onto the mother board) that connect the various parts of the computer like the CPU, memory and other buses that connect the harddrives, video etc.. the Bus speed is always a multiple faster than the clock speed like 2X ot 4X faster...

In computer architecture, a bus is a subsystem that transfers data or power between computer components inside a computer or between computers and typically is controlled by device driver software. Unlike a point-to-point connection, a bus can logically connect several peripherals over the same set of wires. Each bus defines its set of connectors to physically plug devices, cards or cables together.
Early computer buses were literally parallel electrical buses with multiple connections, but the term is now used for any physical arrangement that provides the same logical functionality as a parallel electrical bus. Modern computer buses can use both parallel and bit-serial connections, and can be wired in either a multidrop (electrical parallel) or daisy chain topology, or connected by switched hubs, as in the case of USB.

the bus speed times the mutliper (can be 6x or 7x) = the processor frequency (100MHz bus x 6x multiper = 600MHz processor)
