Best Answer

The "clock" is a signal that turns on and off many, many times a second. For example, if your computer has a "speed" of 3 GHz, that means that the clock signal goes on and off that many times (i.e., 3,000,000,000) times a second. The clock signal is used to synchronize the different parts of the computer. As a general rule, a higher clock speed means a faster computer - however, the speed of the computer also depends on several other factors, including the number of processors, and whether it has enough RAM for the tasks it is supposed to do.
