Every model of microprocessor is designed and guaranteed for a certain maximum
speed ... above that speed, the manufacturer makes no promises about how well
the processor will do its job, or even whether it will survive the overheating.
The speed at which it runs in your computer is set by a "clock" circuit in the computer ...
an oscillator somewhere on the motherboard which generates the pulses that keep
the processor and everything else on the board synchronized. The processor runs
at whatever speed the system clock tells it to.
If you bought your computer 'off the shelf' and didn't build it yourself, (judging by
your question, you haven't built many computers), you can find the system speed
like this:
Right-click 'MY COMPUTER', then select PROPERTIES from the drop-down menu.
All kinds of interesting info then pops up (possibly behind the GENERAL tab),
including system speed, total installed memory, operating system, etc.

How do you calculate force if you only have speed?
You cannot calculate force with only speed.
What is useful to calculate an object's average speed when it does not travel?
If it "does not travel", the speed is zero. Not much to calculate there.
What is the definition and a sentence for the word gigahertz?
the definition of gigahertz is " a billion of cycles" and a sentence would be: A gigahertz is most commonly used to measure processor speed.( like computer processor speed)
How does a pulley change speed?
calculate speed drive pulley.
How do you calculate the average speed of a swimmer?
The same way you calculate the average speed of any object. You divide distance by time.
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 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.
What part of the computer determines the maximum processor speed?
The processor (obviously)
What processor is the minimum required for different bandwidths?
processor speed does not matter.
What measures the speed of the computer?
Clock speed measures the speed and it's measured in megahertz.
What is the processor speed for this computer?
The processor speed of the Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6930 AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor Laptop is 2.1 GHz.
When a dual-core processor is used is the clock speed of the processor affected?
Yes
Can you add processor speed?
yes
What speed in Pentium processor?
555
Whatpart of the computer determines the maximum processor speed?
nothing to do with the computer, its the processor the determines that (u can get processor upgrades)
