Ghz Vs. Mhz?

[JohnnyTAE]

What is the difference between the two I always see the new comps usually advertising like 2.4 Ghz and maybe 400-700 Mhz?

Dood The difference is between mhz and ghz is like...

Mhz = old fat slow guy wearing sandals...
Ghz = young punk soaring through the city streets in a BMW

recap: Mhz=slow, old ... Ghz: New, Hot, & Fast :D
Get it ? :grin:

Generally, 1,000 Mega is 1 Giga. In other words, a 2.4 GHz computer would be equal to a 2,400 MHz one.

[Randuin]

actually chruser no, it's 1024mega = 1 giga ;) OLD OLD OLD dos theory classes actually work

[WetWired]

It depends. Frequency is base 10. Data storage/transfer is base 2 (which means that 1K is 2^10, or 1024).

[oMeNTaLiTYo]

okay, that was all too technical for me...

That isnt really correct too. You begin with BYTES not megas.

[Grav]

WW is right. End of discussion. Shutup. All of you. Stfu.

[JohnnyTAE]

oh ok thats what I thought it was was for but sometimes I see like 2.4 ghz then off a bit more it'll say something like 700mhz is that the speed of the bus or what?

[WetWired]

Yeah, there's external and internal bus speeds. Having a meat grinder that can grind 2 tons of meat a day is useless if you can only get 100 pounds per day to it, to use an analogy.

[Hades-Knight]

Mhz= Megahartz
GHz= Gigahartz

MB= Megabite
GB= Gigabite

[Grav]

You mean hertz and bytes?

Ok thanxz for the info. Another good analogy is comparing it too a constipated man :p

Damn you! I got all excited thinking that Johnny was back. >.<

Two bits in a bite.

[Goodlookinguy]

Two bits in a bite.


Four bits in a nibble.

Eight bits in a byte.

1024 bytes in a kilo byte.

1024 kilo bytes in a mega byte.

1024 mega bytes in a giga byte.

1024 giga bytes in a tera byte.

1024 tera bytes in a peta byte.

1024 peta bytes in a exa byte.

1024 exa bytes in a zetta byte.

1024 zetta bytes in a yotta byte.

I think that about sums up what I wanted to write.

[Lenny]

Exabyte, rather then erobyte. Then Zetta-, and then Yotta-.

And tera- is a single "r".

[D3V]

Wow, I feel like I can pass the A+ cert test after scrolling through this thread, thanks for the refresher =)

[Kazilla]

0100 0101 There, now you can complete A+ Cert.

And I just google'd a picture of a dot matrix printer, FTW.
