Also called clock rate, the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions. Every computer contains an internal clock that regulates the rate at which instructions are executed and synchronizes all the various computer components. The CPU requires a fixed number of clock ticks (or clock cycles) to execute each instruction. The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per second

We think of a computer as being all 1's or 0's, but there is quite a bit of slop in there as the 0's become 1's or the 1's become 0's. Basically, the computer only looks at the values when the clock ticks. The interval between ticks is used to settle the data values. Faster speeds are better, but if you go too fast, the slop starts showing, and errors occur. You might see speeds expressed as Front Side Bus (FSB), for example 800 MHz.
