Abbreviation for megahertz. One MHz represents one million cycles per second. The speed of microprocessors, called the clock speed, is measured in megahertz. For example, a microprocessor that runs at 200 MHz executes 200 million cycles per second. Each computer instruction requires a fixed number of cycles, so the clock speed determines how many instructions per second the microprocessor can execute. To a large degree, this controls how powerful the microprocessor is.

Mhz means megahertz. It is how the older processor speeds were mesured. (new ones in gigahertz) It also refers to the speed of the information buss on your motherboard. A fast bus on a laptop is around 500 - 800 megahertz

MHz or (MegaHertz) determines the processor speed of your laptop. Let's say for example a laptop runs for 1.2MHz it means that laptop's processor's speed cycle is about 12 Billion Hertz.

Mhz stands for Megahertz, the speed of your components, including processor, memory, front side bus of your motherboard, etc.
The larger the better.

mhz = megahertz. It is used to reconize speed of processing. But to be more exact it is used to measure frequency.

Megahertz. I think it refers to the speed.

It is the measure of the speed of the important electronic components in the computer example: Processor, RAM ,FSB

Processor speed. Technically it is how many times your system crystal drives the cpu per second
megahertz, gigahertz, etc
