which is best for a laptop processor speed 1 GHz or 600 MHz ?? What is the difference in MHz and GHz??

Answer 1

Answer:
1 MHz (mega-hertz) = 1000 Hz
1 GHz (giga-hertz) = 1000 x 1000 Hz = 1000 MHz

Suggestion:
u seem to be not very familiar with computers
u r comparing 2 processors 1 ghz & 600 mhz, which r long obsolete. so if u'r buying ... lots of other parameters matter, besides processor

please post exactly what u r wanting 2 do & other details so as 2 compare best
buying old / 2nd hand can be a tricky job !

Answer 2

I was going to be all funny and say about a 400 Hz, but then someone else answered before me, so I won't be cheeky...

If you're buying a laptop, I'd definitely go for the 1GHz speed. But 600 MHz speed isn't bad for a computer, as long as (this is the kicker) you're simply doing very basic stuff like basic web surfing (not internet gaming or a lot of intensive multimedia) and office stuff.

So, if price is an issue, 600 MHz isn't the worst thing to have, but it is pretty low these days...

Answer 3

Plain and simple with out the additional yada yada:

1 GHz is better than 600 MHz

The diffence in MHz and GHz is that: 1 GHz = 1000 MHz

Answer 4

A lot of other things matter too, besides the speed rating. The type of memory is a factor, for example. In the older 600MHz laptop, it probably has PC100 (100MHz) memory with the CPU bus speed running at 100MHz. The 1GHz laptop probably has PC133 (133MHz) memory with the CPU bus speed clocked at 133MHz.

Not to confuse you, but these other specs involve the communication between the CPU and memory, which is the next thing you look at besides the CPU speed. You can learn a lot on http://www.wikipedia.org if you have time to look it up. But for now, just know that the 1GHz laptop likely has additional features like the ones I described which will give it other advantages in addition to the 400MHz jump in speed...

Answer 5

1GHz is definately better for anything compared to 600MHz. GHz is faster than MHz.

Answer 6

GHz--Gigahertz, or gigs--each equal 1000 MHz--Megahertz--so 1gig is greather than 600megs

Answer 7

so trouble-free as a threat: Athlon X2: susceptible as hell. i7-3517U: U is for the underclocked variety, for ultrabooks that use battery life as its substantial merchandising component. i5-3210M: best determination out of the bunch here.
