I believe that as long as you have worked out a way to deal with the excess heat then u can theoretically over clock a CPU to any speed. Though it would be incredibly difficult to deal with the heat. I have see a CPU over clocked to 5 Ghz that was cooled with liquid nitrogen. Although it only ran for a short time till it set on fire.

If clock speed increases then what happens to processor speed?

Th clock speed is the processor speed. It is simply the amout of operations the processor can do per second. However if the processor has multiple cores, it will be as fast as number of cores * clock speed. Note that the processor speed is not the overall computer speed.


How do you determine the maximum amount of RAM that can be installed on your motherboard?

There is a limit in the number of physical slots on your motherboard and a limit of what the bios can manage. But remember, 8GB of RAM and a 1.5 GHz processor is not necessarily faster even with 16GB RAM. Having a balance of processor speed an RAM is the way to go.


How is the CPU speed measured an expression?

speed of a processor is measured by CMU(Clock Multiplier Unit). Formula:(speed of processor in Hz)/(FSB of processor)= CMU


Is there a way to increase your processor?

The only way to increase the processor speed is by overclocking. Through overclocking, you can increase the overall speed of the processor.


Does GHz represent processor?

No. It represents the clock speed of the processor. The clock speed is usually misinterpreted by many as the power of the processor, but the physical design of the processor has far more to do with the processors throughput than the clock speed itself.

When passing another vechile you can exceed the speed limit?

The speed limit is exactly that - the speed limit. While a reasonable excess of speed might be overlooked when overtaking another vehicle, there is no guarantee. You can be pulled over and cited for speeding, still.


Is there a computer chip that will speed up a computer and were can you buy them?

You can buy more RAM for your computer. It can speed up your computer depending on your memory usage. You can buy it at a local electronics store. RAM only improves a computer's speed to a certain point, at which motherboard components and processor speed limit computer performance. So the question is oversimplified as computer speed is governed by motherboard chipsets, processor core numbers and speed, RAM volume, hard drive writing speed, etc.
