-A Gigabyte is a measurement refering to size-

For ram 1GB is the standard at the moment. 2GB is the best practiacal amount.

For hard-drives 160GB is quickly becoming the standard.

-Gigahertz is a measurement of speed over time-

1hert is once per second 1Gigahert is 1000 times per second

Ghz "dose not" accurately represent how fast a processor is anymore.

Efficiency makes a big difference.

For example Person A can try shooting a basket 1000 times and if Person A is any good the'll make it about 500 times.
Some one "slower" can only try 700 time in the same amount of time but makes 600 baskets. Who's better?

So, from my strange example you can say processor A runs at 1Ghz and processor B runs at 700MHz. They both have to process 600 units of X. In one second the "faster in megahertz" Processor A will process 500 units. The "slower in megahertz" Processor B will be done with all 600 units.

GBs (Gigabytes) usually refers to storage capacity. Ghz (Gigahertz) usually refers to processor speed.

gb is the amount of memory or the space on which you can store data. ( how many songs or movies you can store on your memory )

ghz is the speed of processing data. ( it is how fast your processor can calculate and show results )

Hope this helps.

If you do the Maths, you can see 3.0GHZ is faster, depending on the amount of cores. Depends on your motherboard, your Hard Drive type, the amount of RAM and the Graphics Card. all these affect your computers performance, so a 1.6GHZ with 4GB RAM, could be faster than a 3.0GHZ with 512MB of RAM

Both are in computer terms now........
Gb.....Gigabye......Memory capacity....Movies music spaces.....

Ghz....Gigahertz.....Speed of processing.....Speed causes pc response time...like time taken to start playing movies or opening a folder.........
