Processor Speed
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2005 6:14 amGood Morning Guys and Ladies, As I study and realize that the PC and Flight Sims go hand in hand . What makes a good PC if we don't learn the different parts or their functions. I keep reading about what others have and don,t put a few things together ,[ in my minds eye] ??? First off - - - Is this my processor speed ?[ ProcessorX86-basedPC/family15model 2 stepping 4 genuineIntel~1800mhz] I take it the [1800mhz ] is the processor speed ? 
If this is correct - - - somewhere I stumbled on a [thing] called a [front side bus - - "FSB" ] and it is only 400 mhz. I've read I have a bottle-neck ::) Am I fighting a lossing battle trying to speed-up this PC ? If this is true,- - - is there a way around this "bottleneck" ? [ Am I slapping at the wind ] ? I also have failed to find a [ FSB ] any faster than 800 mhz. why have anything faster than 800 mhz ? WOW - - I do carry on ;D I just didn't know of any other place to turn to for help, SORRY. Thanks so much for bearing with me. I sure hope this can also be of help to others . I haven't come across this in the forum yet [ I'm up to page #413 ] Here's wishing you all a nice day. caveman
