You just replace it with a higher performing CSI link to the southbridge. So no. Also the FSB itself uses very very little power.

Wouldn't that be a DMI link to the south bridge? Intel has used DMI since at least i875/65. IIRC DMI is already a Serialized CSI like BUS/Link or whatever you like to call it. I only saw Higher end Bloomfield using CSI or Quick Path to a DT-IOH (Tylersberg), then DMI to the ICH-10 (South Bridge). That is unless PC Watch blew it and the first link here missed that too, I'll check.
