fyodor,<<<There is a standard way of measuring frequency, yes. There is not, however, a standard way of rating computer chips in terms of frequency.>>> I'm with John. I'm totally confused by the explanations. But, in reality, we aren't the only one's that are confused. IMO there should only be one rated speed, eg, the standard way of measuring the highest frequency of the processor. The effective speed of the processor is something entirely different. There the techies can apply all the spin their imagination can come up with and endlessly debate the issue. It's like horsepower for a car. I don't know the difference between 350 vs 250. The speed of the car depends on size, weight, shape and a lot of other variables. You could also argue that it depends on the skill of a driver. All I know is I want as much horse power as I can afford (more or less). Mary
