MHz sound out?

i own another question nearly MHz. Why do computers with 1.8 GHz cost close to $700 and computers with 3.0 GHz cost around $450?

MHz sound out?

It's not necessarily the MHz/GHz piece that's important: the processor that runs underneath those speeds is much more important. ### Which is vitally what Wisdom Cube is saying as very well. ####



The computers that cost 450 may have an Intel Celeron for processor, which may still be slower at highly developed clock speeds than an Intel Pentium IV or something. (I'm not completely up to date anymore on processors. :-)



Intel's main competitor AMD is typically cheaper and better than Intel (just not as prominent among laymen), and it also has several flavors of processors: some individual cheap and relatively slow, and some are very swift.



The other possibility is of course that the more expensive computers hold more memory, a bigger hard disk, etc., but I'm assuming you already took that into article when you asked your question.
Look at the rest of the configuration. The clock isn't the simply criteria.
MHz isn't everything. A 3GHz Pentium 4 is slower than a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo. The microarchitecture of the chip matters more than only any one factor like clock speed or cache size. A Core 2 chip can do more operation per clock cycle than a Pentium 4.
first check the details and the fine lines to see if yors looking at the right price
