Best Answer

With todays standards a 1GHz processor is something you wouldn't even find being sold in todays lowest end PCs. 1Ghz was acceptable back when people were mainly using 98 and XP, XP being one of the new OS's in the day. So no, while a 1GHz processor had its day, it is not currently considered 'good' within information technology any longer.

Depends. Is it a mobile processor in a small laptop? A tablet? A phone?

If it is a desktop processor, then it is probably pretty slow at this frequency. Keep in mind your Clock Speed doesn't really matter that much in processor performance.

It's impossible to answer that question. All else being equal, higher is better. However, a six-core 2.8 GHz processor will blow a single-core 3.0 GHz processor out of the water for some applications.

Will games that require a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 processor run on a 2.33 GHz Quad core processor?

yes it will do even better because a quad processor that is 2.33 ghz means that it has 4 processors and that each one is 2.33 ghz... therefore by doing 4 x 2.33 you get a resulting answer of 9.32 ghz. So yes the quad core processor will run the game and in fact it will run it very well... by the way i have a 2.5 ghz quad core processor. yes it will do even better because a quad processor that is 2.33 ghz means that it has 4 processors and that each one is 2.33 ghz... therefore by doing 4 x 2.33 you get a resulting answer of 9.32 ghz.

Why is my 1.4 GHz Socket 370 processor running at only 1 GHz?

Your motherboard probably does not support a 133 MHz Front Side Bus, but instead runs at only 100 MHz. Processor speed is determined by an internal multiplier in the processor times the speed of the Front Side Bus. A 1.4 GHz Pentium III had a multiplier of 10.5 133 MHz * 10.5 = 1.396 GHz 100 MHz * 10.5 = 1.050 GHz So, you will not be able to run the processor much higher than 1 GHz. You may be able to overclock your motherboard and raise the speed of the processor close to its rated speed, but other components, such as your video card or sound card, may malfunction at a higher speed.
