It is of no importance at all to the average computer user. All it tells you is the clock that the machine runs on and there are many other variables (both hardware and software) that affect the actual performance of the computer in actual use on real world problems. Without accounting for these variables, processor speed will be very misleading.
For many people processor speed is important as a "boasting number" so that they can claim to be better than another person!

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.
What exactly is the GHz mentioned with a processor configuration is it most important factor to processor speed?
The GHz is the clock frequency. It is important for processor speed but the number of kernels is even more important as each kernel can do processing independently from the others.
What measures the speed of the computer?
Clock speed measures the speed and it's measured in megahertz.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Is megabyte exactly the unit to measure the speed of a processor?
No, a megabyte is a unit of storage capacity, not a unit for measuring the speed of a processor. The speed of a processor is typically measured in hertz (GHz), which indicates how many cycles the processor can execute in one second.
What processor is the minimum required for different bandwidths?
processor speed does not matter.
What part of the computer determines the maximum processor speed?
The processor (obviously)
