[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Bus Speed

I have a question about the phase Bus Speed. I know that the so called
standard Bus Speed is 8MHz and that the faster the System clock becomes
it is more important to run the Bus at a faster speed. 

I gess question goes as far back as the 8MHz and that is how do they 
determine the Bus Speed ? 

Do they use the Address Strobe Width or do they use the Write Cycle = 
Address Strobe Width + Write,/Write Strobe Width + Write Cycle Delay.

Or best of all am I looking at this all wrong if so help !!

Thanks.
