No clock speed is measured in megahurtz(mhz), or gigahurtz(ghz). So is the FSB. They are seperate things, never combined.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Dale @ Apr 7 2006, 08:22 PM) [snapback]164434[/snapback]</div>that's the core clock speed, but like was already stated... there isn't a 3.2ghz athlon. the front side bus (FSB) is listed seperatly, as it is a compltely seperate figure. Think of it all as if it were UPS. The roads leading in and out of the package facility would be the FSB, it dictates the speed at which data travels across the moterhboard. The trucks can only ship packages at the speed limit. The Core speed would be how fast people can move and organize packages inside the facility. The processor does more than simply transfer signals it converts and manipulates them, which is why the core clock speed actually makes a difference in the computers performance, above and beyond the clock speed. It's also why you don't see a huge push for higher clock speeds, they aren't really necessary because the data being transferred isn't as massive as the amount of cycles needed to process and transorm it.Quote:
When they say it's a 3.2ghz amd athlon. Is that Core clock speed, and FSB speed combined?

Adam put it very simply. xD
Oh, and adam MCE is only good for recording live TV.
Lol.. thats it's sole purpose in life.

I think it's completely useless, but the skin is alot nicer than the standard Luna skin. Other than that, I haven't found a decent use for it. Although, if I used my notebook as a media player for like...a party. It'd probably be handy then, like a digital jukebox, without people going through my file folders.Quote:

I Have MCE and it's main use for me at the moment is just to "talk" to my Xbox 360 so I can listen to the music on my PC while playing 360 games, and of course recording TV. I'm such a geek I have every episode of Doctor Who on here ^^

Now the Processor, your correct on that they haven't made one that fast, but that's the name of this one :P. The fastest I think AMD Athlons go atm is a 2.8 the AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 San Diego 1GHz HT Socket 939 Processor Model ADAFX57BNBOX.Quote:
You got some facts wrong man.
AMD Athlon 3.2GHz..... No? That don't even make a processor that fast.
2000mb = 2 gb's ?! 2000mb= 1 gig and shy short of 2 gigs
You have the same processor as me and its runs at 2.2ghz, not 3.2 =)
To use s-video out, you need to mess with the video driver's ATI gave you.
Damn you should have got an Nvidia, they kill ATI.

So the name of my Processor is "AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Barton 400MHz FSB Socket A Processor Model AXDA3200DKV4E" and yes it runs Operating Frequency: 2.2GHz.
Also I did buys this OS to watch and record live TV, I even bout a tuner card spacifically made for it. In the end it detects the tuner card but it wont connect just says Application Failure.
Why would you possibly need to upgrade your system, anyways. You won't need to be upgrading that for a while!
Cuz my motherboard went out. :P I decided to get one almost exactly like it for I have many parts that fit it uniquely. with that I decided to hold off on the new system and just get a new procesor with this one and OS. So now this PC can't really upgrade anymore than it is.
It's Memory is at the highest this motherboard will hold and the processor is the highest made for these types of motherboards. AGP cards are going out since PCI Express so I've got a pretty good video card for this type of system though not a nvidia so might try the best nvida card for AGPs then this will be the best this system can ever be :P
