The CD ROM does not have any affect on the speed of the CPU or the speed of the Frontside Bus. The CPU and Frontside Bus is what carries data and the CD ROM is not connected nor involved with the speed of the computer.

Unless your OS is being run from off the CD or you are actively transferring data to or from the CD ROM, it should not affect the computer's speed. A CD ROM doesn't have a direct bearing on a computer's speed, but a slow CD ROM drive would limit the speed of data being transferred from it or applications that directly use it.

Why does Xbox 360 lag when the computer is connected to the internet?

Because you have limited bandwidth. You can only transfer data at a certain speed. You computer is transferring data when it is connected to the internet and this takes away from the data that can be transferred by the xbox. If the computer is only connected to the internet then it should not slow down you game system but if someone is using to play an online game or download music/movies this will cause your system to lag.

Is computer Speed computer RAM the same?

Computer Speed is entirely relative.My computer takes ~20 seconds to boot up. To me, my computer is slow (it used to only take 12!). To most of my friends though, my computer is very fast.Aside from the relative nature of speed, there are a few parts that contribute to the overall feeling of a 'fast' computer-HDD or SSD (Hard Disk Drive or Solid State Drive)-This is where ALL the information on the computer is stored- Documents, Photos, Videos, Games, Your desktop, Shortcuts, EVERYTHING!Drives have a Size rating and a Speed rating.The size, measured in GB (Gigabytes) is how much data will fit on the drive.The speed, measured in MB/s (Megabytes per second), tells you how quickly the drive can send that data to your RAM. Hard Drives are speed-limited by how fast the disk inside rotates. Solid-state drives are only limited by current technology, and much much faster.RAM (Random Access Memory)-Obviously, you don't need every piece of data on your computer at the same time. So any time you do something (open a file or the internet, play a game, double click an application, etc) the relevant information, parts the computer needs to run that program, will be loaded into the RAM.RAM has a Size and a Speed rating.The size is measured in GB, is how much total data the RAM will hold- The data is released from RAM when it's not in use, so you won't need a lot of RAM unless you run very high end programs, or many at the same time.The speed is measured in MHz (Megahertz) and details how many pieces of data per second the RAM is capable to sending to your CPU. The bandwidth (amount of data that can be sent at one time) is multiple by the number of RAM sticks installed.CPU (Central Processing Unit)-Aptly named, this is where all the data your computer is currently working on is being processed. One of the most basic, but also most important components.The CPU has a Speed rating, measured in GHz (Gigahertz), and often a number of 'cores'- Processors with more than 1 core have better overall speed, as it basically ammounts to having 2 (or more) individual processors in the computer.The processed information is then sent to the Graphics card where it's magically converted from a number into a picture and sent to your Monitor where you can see the results.
