what does the ghz do in ur processor? i had 1.8,2.8 now 3.4,not tried my 3.4 yet but the 1.8 n 2.8 dont seem to much different
Have a look at the wiki page.... Clock rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I suppose the first sentence is what your looking for... 1hz = 1 per second 1000hz = 1Khz 1000Khz = 1Mhz 1000mhz = 1Ghz 3.4Ghz = 3,400,000,000 sums a second With processors in PCs a higher clock rate doesn't always mean it is quicker. ie An AMD Athlon XP2000 only runs at 1.66ghz but when ive tested my two pcs the AMD at 1.66ghz is nearly as fast as my Pentium 4 when its running at 2ghz. Intel have been more efficient with the clock rate though lately.
The clock speed of a CPU is not the sole indicator of performance. For surfing the web, I can't tell a difference between my 800MHz Pentium 3 and my Athlon 64 3000+. You would notice a difference in rendering or audio tasks with a faster CPU. For more menial stuff, you don't need a lot of CPU grunt, so a 40000GHz CPU won't really show a difference over a 700MHz CPU. Today, the CPU is not as important as it used to be. It's still needed, being a primary component of a computer, but it's influence is not as great as it used to be 15-20 years ago.
:doh: B where do you buy your hardware, cos i wouldn't mind trying a 40 thousand GHz CPU:doh: [ot]LOL, i know it was a typo, but that CPU would kick :swear: ass[/ot]
Not if it was using Intels NetBurst archetecture, it'd require a small nuclear power station to run it and after 5 minutes of use the area where it's situated would look like Hiroshima... hehe.
no, it would probably require somthing with a bit more of a kick like liquid nitrogen at the top of ben nevis (mountain)
