Clock speed of a motherboard refers to the frequency at which the motherboard's components, particularly the CPU and memory, operate. It is typically measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz) and indicates how many cycles per second the processor can execute. A higher clock speed generally allows for faster data processing and improved performance, but it is not the sole determinant of a system's overall speed, as factors like architecture and core count also play significant roles.
I think the CPU does a better job
ACPU has multimedia instructions called
Depending on what your motherboard can handle, all the RAM (regardless of clockspeed) will clock to the same speed.
That condition occurs when the motherboard clock settings are not set properly for the processor.
Your CPU's clock sped can be adjusted from the BIOS, but it is not recommended to do so because it can cause permanent damage to the CPU, RAM or the motherboard due to various reasons like overheating, unsupported clock speed etc.

No the system clock is built into the motherboard.
the clock on a motherboard ensures that all the devices run in sync
The fastest CPU clock speed is typically associated with the CPU itself, as it operates at speeds measured in gigahertz (GHz). The front-side bus (FSB) is slower than the CPU clock speed, and while RAM speeds can vary, they generally do not exceed CPU speeds. USB 3.0 is designed for data transfer and operates at up to 5 Gbps, which is not directly comparable to CPU clock speeds. Therefore, the CPU has the highest clock speed among these components.
Your motherboard might be able to 'clock back' the DDR400 to DDR333. This means that the DDR400 ram will reduce it's clock speed to DDR333 to be compatible. Not all motherboards support this though.

you go in to BIOS. How ? when you start up you PC Before windows bootup you press delete or f11-f9 it differs for every motherboard but Del is the most common. And you find it in one of the settings most likley under advanced bios or frequency.
