    There are four factors:

    1) How fast a computer can recieve input and decipher it
    2) How fast a computer can access the data it needs to process
    3) How fast it can process said data
    4) How fast it can display or otherwise output the result

    Number 1 and 4 are rarely a large issue in modern computers.

    Number 2 is effected by the hard drives, the motherboard and its chipset, the speed of memory, and the front side bus.

    Number 3 is effected by the speed of the CPU, how fast it can communicate the relevant data to the video card, and how fast the video card can process the data.
