Does the speed and or quality of your ram affect how much you can overclock a computers processor?

Speed and quality (brand). PS: memory parameters are not directly connected to overclocking capabilities of CPU. Usually CPU itself is the major factor. Meaning that even if you have the best memory on the market but your CPU is not capable of overclocking you do get good results. And opposite if you have average quality memory but good CPU you can get very good results. There is one exception. When you overclock both CPU and memory both should be with a right speed and good brand.


Is there anyway to improve a computer processor speed without buying a new processor?

Usually, a computer is sold with the minimum amount of Random Access Memory installed for the computer to work properly. Increasing the amount of memory will usually result in much faster processing. If that is not sufficient, it may be possible to overclock the processor, but that is extremely dangerous, and can result in the processor burning up. Do not attempt this without skilled assistance.


1.99 gigahertz and 2.37 gigabytes of ram how fast can your processor run until overclocking occurs?

Overclocking is increasing the clock speed of your processor over the manufacturer's specs. If you're asking how much you can overclock a processor, it depends on your processor. All of the processors in a family are manufactured together. They are then tested to determine at what speed they are stable. Your processor might be at the upper or lower range for your clock speed, which would determine how much you can overclock it before it gets unstable. If it tested low, you won't be able to increase it much. If it tested high, or you were lucky and got one that could have been the next step up, you can overclock it significantly more. It's possible to go even higher if you have a good cooling system.


What is an area of high speed memory that sits between the processor and the primary memory?

Cache.


Which switch increases speed of processor?

There is no such physical switch on common modern cpus that increases the speed of cpu. To increase cpu speed one has to overclock it. Overclocking depends on the cpu and the motherboard. It is generally not preferable to overclock as it reduces the life of cpu and the motherboard, and can even lead to complete destruction of either or both of the components in worst case.


A buffer is an area of high speed memory that sits between the processor and the primary memory?

You should ask the question without the word "buffer" in the sentence. The correct statement would be; A Cache is an area of high speed memory that sits between the processor and the primary memory.


What is the speed of computer?

The speed can be determined in various ways. The clock speed of the processor, the speed of the hard drive, the speed of the bus carrying information from the processor to the memory and the speed of the memory. dual or quad core processors running at more than 2.5 Ghz is fast a hard drive that has a spindle speed of 7500 to 10,000 RPMs is fast 1066 or 2000 Mhz of front side bus is fast 800 Mhz or more memory speed is fast


When is it most important to know the speed of memory?

It is the speed of your processor, that you need to know. It would be the size of your memory that is important. For both of those things, it is important to know them when you have a particular piece of software to run or work to be done that needs a minimum level of processor speed and memory size to work properly.


Why memory management is important?

The speed of processor is very high in comparison to that of user and input/output device.... So if processor is made to wait and work in the speed to user and I/O devices the system becomes very slow... Hence, in order to make full use of processor's speed MEMORY MANAGEMENT is done


How may processing speed in computers be improved?

You can overclock your processor by overloading it past what it's meant to do. *NOTE* This may not always work and only do this for up to 15 seconds. The clock speed is how fast the processor handles it. You can also get rid of files or close out programs you are not using. A more expensive way of doing it is to buy a better processor. Please specify your processor's name and GHz. Is it an i3, i5, or i7?


Which is more important cache size or processor speed?

Processing speed is far more important than cache size. Cache is a small amount of memory located in, or around the processor that is used to store small amounts of information that the processor can refer to as a quick reference. There are millions of bits flowing through cache memory every time the processor works. Any more, there is a standard amount of cache memory that is in every processor. Speed is a totally different thing and almost has nothing to do with cache size. Speed is definitely more important.


Modern concept of CPU by taking into account various different factors which make the effective use of computer system?

FSB (FrontSide Bus): The data bus that carries information from the processor to the main memory and the rest of the system. A processor's internal multiplier multiplied the FSB speed of the system = that processor's speed in MHz or GHz.Increasing the clock speed of the FSB (and thus the speed of the memory and the processor as well) is the most common and effective way of overclocking a modern computer.AMD Athlon 64-based systems do not use a conventional FSB since the memory controller is built right onto the processor's core instead of being located in the motherboard's core logic chipset. Instead, a value called motherboard clock speed is used to determine the speed of data transfer between the processor and the memory. For the purposes of this article, FSB and motherboard clock speed are interchangeable terms.Internal Multiplier: The ratio of a given processor's speed (in MHz or GHz) as compared to the FSB (Frontside Bus) speed of the computer system it is installed in. A processor with an internal multiplier of 16x installed in a system with a FSB of 200MHz would run at 3.2GHz internally, since 16 x 200MHz = 3.2GHz. Most modern processors are 'multiplier locked' to some degree, meaning that their internal multiplier cannot be changed (or at least increased). This in turn means that increasing the FSB speed of a system is the only way to overclock the processor.Memory Divider: Most modern Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon motherboards allow a memory divider to be set. This divider allows the system memory to run slower than the actual FSB speed. By default, FSB speed and memory are usually set to a 1:1 ratio, meaning that increasing FSB speed (by overclocking) increases memory speed by the same amount. Most 'generic' system memory is not built for overclocking and thus may not be able to take the level of overclocking that the processor or motherboard can achieve.The memory divider allows users to mitigate this problem by reducing the speed increase of the memory relative to that of the FSB and the processor. Setting a 5:4 memory divider would mean that memory speed increases at 4/5th the rate of the FSB, for example.Reducing the relative speed of the memory does result in a slight decrease in performance as compared to the default 1:1 ratio between FSB and memory speed, but it may help users with generic memory achieve a higher overclock.Stock Speed: The default or factory speed settings of computer hardware like the processor, memory and motherboard. With the processor, stock speed refers to the clock speed in MHz or GHz of the processor. With the memory, stock speed refers to the highest standard memory speed that the memory module is rated for (PC3200 DDR memory has a stock speed of 200MHz, for example). In the case of the motherboard, stock speed refers to the default speed at which the processor and memory work together, the FSB speed.To tie this all together, say a motherboard has an Athlon XP 3000+ processor installed (stock speed 2.1GHz) which uses a FSB speed of 166MHz. A PC3200 DDR memory module (stock speed 200MHz) is installed. Since the processor requires a 166MHz FSB, the motherboard will set the memory speed to 166MHz which becomes its stock speed with the current configuration.Core/Memory/Chipset Voltage: These three voltage values represent the amount of electrical power being fed to the respective components. When a processor, memory or motherboard is made to run faster due to overclocking, more voltage may be required in order for that component to run stably. With this in mind, voltage adjustment is one of the most important principles of overclocking.If an overclocked computer becomes unstable, increasing one or more of these voltage settings by a very small amount (0.05V to 0.1V) can often mean the difference between an unbootable system and a stable overclocked one. That being said, it is important to make some distinctions with respect to voltage adjustments; more voltage does not necessarily mean faster speeds, rather minor increases can help improve stability. Computer circuits are designed to operate within very specific electrical ranges, and drastically increasing the electricity being supplied to a chipset will raise temperatures, and potentially damage it.
