What "chipset strap" is... - from This Article

understand what its going on about, just just confused by the "strap" term. Is it basically a fancy name for divider/multiplier?

Yes,basically a strap is a devider,it allows you to under/over clock the chipset in relation to the cpu,in much the same way as ram deviders.
