The processor or CPU is the engine that drives the PC. The CPU you sue determines how fast the system runs and what operating systems and other software run on it.
Most PCs use processors from Intel (Pentium II/III/4 or Celeron ) or AMD (Athlon or Duron).
Processors vary in speed (currently 700 MHz to 3+ GHz), cost ($25 to $500+), physical connector (Socket 423, Socket 78, Socket 370, Socket A, Slot 1, Slot 2 ,Slot A, Socket 7 andso on ), efficiency at performing various functions , and other respects.
Although processors get much attention , the truth is that performance differences between a $50 processor and a $250 processor are relatively minor, typically a factor of two.
