Help answer this question below.

In terms of MegaHertz (in CPU rating, and also the motherboard speed), the AMD processor platform is much slower than the Pentium IV counterpart, what does this mean in terms of speed and performance in relation to gaming and frame rates?

    The MHz of a chip are getting less and less relevant as the years progress. Things to look for nowadays are FSB speed and cache size. My AMD 1.4 GHz can whip my friend's P4 2.0 GHz in almost any benchmark. These benchmarks inculde games, algorithms, and various other standards.

    • FSB has a direct correlation to cpu speed. Your pal likely has a celeron.
