how do I get a high CPU speed?

Question

I see people with computer that have like 4.8Ghz, 6.4Ghz, 10.64Ghz, 12Ghz, ect processor speeds... How do I make my computer frequency this fast? Can I buy two processors and put them in my computer? Is there a certain processor that I need?

Answer 1

1st of all, i don't think they're up to 4+Ghz quite yet, are they? certainly not 12 Ghz, that's just silly (at least for consumer products).

2nd of all, i highly doubt you'd see any difference if you jumped from 2 Ghz to 4 Ghz, unless you're doing heavy graphic processing or number crunching.

You should look into getting more RAM, that will actually speed up a web-surfer emailers computer, whereas a faster CPU won't.

3rdly, you can 'overclock' your CPU, e.g. make it go faster than it's meant to, but this is hardly ever worth it. There are multi-proc computers out there, but again for home use it wouldn't do you any good.

Just enjoy what you have, it could probably be slower.

Answer 2

And all those computers were cooled by Liquid Nitrogen with highly overclocked processors. You can overclock processors but not that much and not without applying more voltages than manufacturer spec to the motherboard. In other words not only are you voiding your warranty on every single component but cutting their life span by more than 50%, even with the extra cooling. Can you do it, yes, if you don't know how to or can't build a computer or have no idea how to handle Liquid Nitrogen or construct a cooling system to accommodate it, then no, you can't nor would I recommend you do so.

Answer 3

It's overclocking. but some of the so-called speeds are more then likely FAKES. a few idiots try to pretend their 2ghz dual cpus is a 4ghz cpu (false). The true overclocking can be seens here:

That's just one example. And speed doesn't really mean the computer will be faster, not many programs stress today's cpus. And Most games require the video card not cpu to be the fastest component in the computer.

Answer 4

till now maximum speed is 3.2 ghz in desktop range i don't know where u seen!
even with ove clocking(dangorous artof sppeding up) which much efficiant cooling also u can't go above 4.5ghz. and normally desktop processors won't support two processors at a time but u can use two coreprocessors(virtually two processors) like core2duo,pentiumD,athlon 2 retc to improve performence(not speed). 2processors/cors of 3.0Ghz does not meen total speed of
2*3.0=6.0 Ghz.

Answer 5

By my opinion, the speeds that you are talking about are a little exagerated (or I don't have any clue).
You can't use 2 prossesors in your PC.
The speed processor can be rased with the risque of damage it.
You better leave as it is or buy another compatible .

Answer 6

These speeds seem excessively high, but overclocking the cpu is one way of getting higher clock speeds. This should only be done with the correct hardware however, bigger cpu cooler, more fans, etc. Try this site for more info, http://www.overclocking.com/

Answer 7

No, you can buy an Intel Core 2 Duo, which is the fastest CPU on the market.

Answer 8

I really agree with some people ...................you do not need a new processor to amke your pc faster you sould try upf=dationg memory and all of those things ........... If you dont trust us go to a store like bestbuy and ask them they will tell you what we told you ....

Good Luck ;)

Answer 9

it is called overclocking but is not always so good for your machine.
