Have a computer in your home that is put to use often? Why not take the
time to fully understand the terms, the components,and software used to
make it work. To understand your PC is not hard and you'll be rewarded
greatly. How you ask? By upgrading your own system as well as repairing those
of your friends while earning extra cash in the process. One of the more
important PC components are the Motherboard,CPU Chip,and your computer's
Hard Drive. The CPU or Central Processing Unit is the brains of any computer and
the two major manufacturers are Intel and AMD or Adanced Micro Devices. For many years Intel CPUs wre found in nearly all PCs. And now the Intel
is AMD's top cpu is the Opteron which compete's with Intel's Itanium and
the Xeon.The Ahtlon is next on AMD's cpu lists and is intended for mid
to high end computers.The Athlon XP was introduced in 1999 and is there
most popular CPU. Intel advertised their CPU's by their clock speed but now have introduced
a There you will see a list of all Intel CPUs, their rating numbers and
maenings.This information is a valuable assest in helping you further
understand your computer's CPU. What then is meant by the term Clock Speed? This is the speed at which
the As every action carried out by the CPU requires one or more cycles,be
means Want to know the clock speed of your CPU? There is a handy little utility
named CHKCPU that will show your CPU's speed,and type.It can be downloaded
in either DOS or Windows versions and its absolutely free. The CPU's clock speed is an important indication of its quality but is
by no means the only one.You must also understand and consider its FSB
or Front Side Bus speed. The FSB allows the CPU to communicate with the rest of the computer.The
3 GHz Pentium 4 PC has a FSB of 800 MHz and the 3 GHz Celeron's FSB is
533 MHz. Other names for this technology is the CPU Bus Speed, Memory
Bus and System Bus. Note that they both have the same processing power but the Pentium 4
can transfer data much more quickly since it has the faster FSB. To make it easiers for us pc users,manufacturers of the motherboards
made them to support several FSB speeds within a specified range.To find
the FSB rating for your computer look in the owners manual. The Front Side Bus speed can generally be set either using the system
BIOS.
The BIOS also recognizes and configures the system's hardware prior to
the loading of the operating system. To access the BIOS,you must press
a combination of keys such as CTRL-ALT-DEL on older systems but newer
PCs allow you enter setup by press F1 or F10. As your computer boot's up,watch the screen for a key to press to access
your Setup.Once inside the BIOS, look for references to the FSB.Other
motherboards allow FSB setup with jumpers located on the motherboard. While most motherboards allow you to set the FSB to any setting,ensure
that the FSB is properly set unless you plan to speed up your system by
overclocking the Central Processing Unit. The AMD has its own Hyper Transport Integrated I/O Bus and don't use
FSB numbers.This technology resulted in communication much faster between
the CPU,the RAM and other parts of the motherboard. Now when you decide to upgrade your CPU or the Motherboard, don't overlook the Front Side Bus capacity and the CPU clock speed.You'll further boost your PC know as you understand these terms in more detail.
