HyperTransport clarification

[Tomlo]

I have a few questions about HyperTransport...
My motherboard supports it but does my processor (Socket A Sempron 2800+)?
If not then what Socket A processors do?
According to AIDA32 my chipset bus type is HyperTransport v1.0 and bus width is 8-bit, shouldnt it be 32-bit?
Also according to AIDA32 I have a frount side bus width of 64-bit (DDR?), isnt Hypertransport supposed to be a replacement for the FSB?

Im sure I have screwed up every question and none of them make sense but please try to bare with me...

Socket A mainboards might have HyperTransport between north and south bridge (NVidia or ALi/ULi chipsets do that), but not on the CPU side of things.

Yes I saw that the Nvidia Nforce2 ultra links the north and south bridges with HT, but what advantages does this have? I have also heard that the agp and pci slots use HT but am not sure if any socket A's do that?

AGP and PCI slots use AGP and PCI.

HyperTransport is an open standard high speed interconnect. So why not use it to link north and south bridge - NVidia and ULi are doing exactly that, even if the host processor uses a different (proprietary) technology. Other chipset makers (Intel, VIA, SiS) all use a proprietary north-south interconnect.

Ok, I see thank you for the help
