is memory, MHz, and GHz the same thing?

No, GHz is bigger than MHz for 1000 times.

The 3.2ghz dual core processor adds speed.  Just makes your computer run alittle bit faster.  That is all that they are referring to when using ghz.  The higher the ghz's are, the faster the processor will run.

As far as I understand on a processor with HT the operating system would recognize it as two processors. (Ofcourse there are other design options, but this is the simplest choice and keeps the OS independent of the way the threads are scheduled).

haha i hear for the first time about sodium ram... what i know abt RAM types are:\n\nKinds of RAM\nRAM can be divided into (1) main RAM, which stores every kind of data and makes it quickly accessible to a microprocessor and (2) video RAM, which stores data intended for your display screen, enabling images to get to your display faster. \nMain RAM\nMain RAM can be divided into static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM (DRAM). \n\nStatic RAM (SRAM)\nStatic RAM is more expensive, requires four times the amount of space for a given amount of data than dynamic RAM, but, unlike dynamic RAM, does not need to be power-refreshed and is therefore faster to access. One source gives a typical access time as 25 nanoseconds in contrast to a typical access time of 60 nanoseconds for dynamic RAM. (More recent advances in dynamic RAM have improved access time.) Static RAM is used mainly for the level-1 and level-2 caches that the microprocessor looks in first before looking in dynamic RAM. \nBurst (or SynchBurst) Static RAM (BSRAM)\nBurst SRAM (also known as SynchBurst SRAM) is synchronized with the system clock or, in some cases, the cache bus clock. This allows it be more easily synchronized with any device that accesses it and reduces access waiting time. It is used as the external level-2 cache memory for the Pentium II microprocessor chipset. \nDynamic RAM (DRAM)\nDynamic RAM uses a kind of capacitor that needs frequent power refreshing to retain its charge. Because reading a DRAM discharges its contents, a power refresh is required after each read. Apart from reading, just to maintain the charge that holds its content in place, DRAM must be refreshed about every 15 microseconds. DRAM is the least expensive kind of RAM. \nFast Page Mode DRAM (FPM DRAM)\nPrior to newer forms of DRAM, Fast Page Mode DRAM (FPM DRAM) was the most common kind of DRAM in personal computers. Page mode DRAM essentially accesses a row of RAM without having to continually respecify the row. A row access strobe (RAS) signal is held active while the column access strobe (CAS) signal changes to read a sequence of contiguous cells. This reduces access time and lowers power requirements. Clock timings for FPM DRAM are typically 6-3-3-3 (meaning 3 clock cycles for access setup, and 3 clock cycles for the first and each of three successive accesses based on the initial setup). \nEnhanced DRAM\nEnhanced DRAM (EDRAM) is the combination of SRAM and DRAM in a single package that is usually used for a level-2 cache. Typically, 256 bytes of static RAM is included along with the dynamic RAM. Data is read first from the faster (typically 15 nanoseconds) SRAM and if it is not found there, it is read from the DRAM, typically at 35 nanoseconds. \nExtended Data Output RAM or DRAM (EDO RAM or EDO DRAM)\nExtended Data Output RAM (EDO RAM) or Extended Data Output Dynamic RAM (EDO DRAM) is up to 25% faster than standard DRAM and reduces the need for level-2 cache memory. \nBurst Extended Data Output DRAM (BEDO DRAM)\nBEDO DRAM improves page mode DRAM by "building in" three successive column address shifts after the first column address is specified so that four bits are read as a burst. Together with a dual-bank architecture, BEDO DRAM promised to offer 4-1-1-1 access times. However, because Intel and other manufacturers preferred SDRAM, BEDO DRAM was not widely used. \nNonvolatile RAM (NVRAM)\nNonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) is a special kind of RAM that retains data when the computer is turned off or there is a power failure. Like the computer's read-only memory (ROM), it is powered by a battery within the computer. It can also work by writing its contents to and restoring them from an EEPROM. \nSynchronous DRAM (SDRAM)\nSynchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is a generic name for various kinds of DRAM that are synchronized with the clock speed that the microprocessor is optimized for. This tends to increase the number of instructions that the processor can perform in a given time. The speed of SDRAM

No they are not same. DDR400 is a DDR I RAM with bus speed support upto 400 MHz. DDR II improves on this and provides higher data transfer rates. DDR II also comes in various speed varients.

There is A LOT more things that determine the speed of a processor rather than clock speed. Just because the clock is 500GHz, doesn't mean the computer will be able to process data any faster. \n\nBesides, once you begin to go beyond 300GHz you start to enter the Infared light spectrum.\n\nSounds like BS to me. It's not going to be practical at all.

cache memory is a very fast SRAM that sits between processor and main memory(usually DRAM).\nit helps increase the performance of the processor.

the frequency of the processor tells us the amount of cycles which can be processed in a certain amount of time thus showing us the speed of the processor. If you were comparing two processors for speed capabilities and their cycles were similiar you could easily compare frequencies to find which is faster. Example 2200 mHz P4 > 1800 mHz P4.

DDR400/PC3200 are pretty much the same thing. With these bits you have the type of memory and what speed it runs at. PC3200/DDR400 runs at 400mhz (200mhz x 2). 200 pins means there are 200pins that connect the motherboard to the memory. Usually for computers made after 2000 it was 168pin memory. Before that it was 132pin memory.

SRAM is short for Static RAM. This is a super high-speed Cache RAM that used to be on motherboards. It was usually in amounts of 32K, 64K, 128K, 256K and 512K, not megabytes. It's job was to contain frequently executed processor instructions for faster program execution. SRAM is not used on motherboards anymore due to the the large on-chip cache sizes of todays modern CPU's. CPU's have their own internal cache memory for fast instruction execution. They range in size from 128K all the way to 2MB.

is that a complete question?\n\nwhich proc?  intel, amd, power pc?\n\nthe x86s each have power management for clocks (Intel SpeedStep, for example)...\n\ncare to expand the question?

A processor or CPU is the main chip of a computer. Its basically the "brain" It sends out all the information and tells the rest of the computer what it needs to do.\n\nRam, or otherwise known by most people is "memory" It basically speeds up the performance of a computer by "remembering" so to speak different actions the computer takes. That way it doesn't have to "remember" how to do the same thing over again.

The first one is faster than the second one.  533Mhz > 400Mhz.  I would trust crucial.com.  Although both will work for your system.\n\nAlso, buying from a major brand is always better than buying generic.  The memory will perform much better.\n\nAlso again, if I were you, I would look into getting a 512mb stick of RAM instead of the 256mb.  That would give you a grand total of 1024mb or 1gb of ram, which is what I would recommend to take full advantage of that system.\n\nGive this a try . . . http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231038\n\nAnd to the answer above, yes SODIMM has a 200 pin version.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodimm

LOL DDR and SDRAM are two totally different things.  DDR is Dual or Double Data Rate.  SDRAM is Synchronous Dynamic RAM.  You can have DDR SDRAM.  You need to find out if your computer supports DDR or SDR (single data rate), then see what the max allowable size for each memory bank is on your PC.  If it supports up to 512MB and DDR, you should be able to use it.  Also, the speed comes into factor.  What speed of RAM does your motherboard support PC 2100, 2700, 3200, etc?\n\nDDR SDRAM\nSDR SDRAM  \n\nconfusing because of the SDR acronym in both Single Data Rate and Synchronous Dynamic Random...  this is why you are getting icorrect answers.
