Max it out!!! The CPU can only be as fast as it's cache size and than it's memory.
download a program called CPU-Z which will tell you everything about your CPU http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
The CPU speed, and processor speed is the amount of cycles that a CPU can perform per second.CPU speed is not a good indicator of CPU performance.
The performance of a CPU is least affected by its age, its size and weight. Performance is instead determined by model, clock speed and size of cache.
You can check how fast your CPU is by using the control panel on your computer. Just click on "my computer" and choose the "system properties" menu. Here you will find the speed of your CPU.
Right click on "My computer" select "Properties" (at the bottom) a window will appear select the "genral" tab if not all readt selcted. you will get some information like Pentium(r) Dual_core CPU this is make and type of CPU. E3500 @ 2.60GHZ exact model of CPU and speed 3.18gb Ram the amount of memory
It could be the CPU speed, memory size or a virus.
Windows XP: Right click "My Computer" and click properties. Windows Vista or Windows 7: Right click "Computer" and click properties. Even easier, press "Windows Key" and "Break" simultaneously on your keyboard and the same window will appear. This will display system information, CPU speed, memory size, etc.
Clock speed determines at what speed the CPU works, in fact faster or more the clock speed faster is the processing speed. Every CPU is designed to operate at a definite speed, Over clocking can sometimes lead to malfunction.
Go to Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance and click on System. It'll show you the system information, which include the speed of the CPU/Processor. It'll probably be shown in GHz (Gigahertz).
If it is through USB port and does not come with a CD there are no basic considerations. Just plug the device into a USB port adn your computer will find the drivers for the software and install them. If the Device has some sort of installation disk or program you will need to run that. Even them sometimes these driven can be found useing windows automatic update and looking through the Optional Update's. It's really that simple.
