With the exception of the central processing unit (CPU), most hardware within a computer has two numbers that can help to determine the speed of the system. The first number is the amount of the resource provided, such as the volume of a hard drive or the capacity of the random access memory (RAM) chips.
The CPU runs faster than the rest of the motherboard (which is clocked at a fraction of the rate of the CPU). Clock speed is measured in units of cycles per second, which is called a Hertz (Hz). Computer boards and CPUs run at rates of millions and billions of Hertz, megahertz (MHz) and gigahertz (GHz). A good speed for a PC microprocessor in 2004 was 4 GHz.
