afaik, the external frequency is the frequency of the bus between the CPU and the memory. Now, the data transfer rate will be a sub-multiple of this value, but telling which sub-multiple depends on how much external cycles a memory access requires (usually 2 or 3, but it could be lower if the bus enters the "burst" mode ...)
