Compare the speed of a standard desktop PC to that of UNIVAC.?
926165
Univac will blow away a standard PC. Measurement of PC is GHZ while UNIVAC is in FLOPS orFloating Point Operations Per Second. Pc is only miniflops while univac is in Teraflops so it's like 1000more times faster than PC.

The speed of a PC is not directly linked with the amount of hard disk space that is occupied. In any case, a 1.94 GB download is paltry compared to your whopping 128 GB of free space.\nJust ensure that you always have atleast 75% of the space on the drive where the OS (Windows) is installed free. Data on other drives do not have an implication on Windows performance. Minimize the number of programs running in the background, get a registry optimization software and a hard disk optimization software - like PerfectDisk (it's better than the regular Windows Defragmenter) to keep your PC running topnotch.

That has nothing to do with speed. Click start and get into your control panel where it says C: or D: depending on your make and model Right click and hit properitys, Thats your space. Now open up your control panel again and look for a icon called System, click it, thats everything you need to know about your computer speed.

Did you read the specifications?\n\nI went to the sites in your question and there is nothing to compare looking at the specs!\n\n\nGlaring differences?\n.\n AMD Turion™ 64 X2 TL-50   OR older, slower 32 bit • Mobile AMD Sempron™ 3400+ \n\n• 100GB hard drive  compared to  • 80GB hard drive \n\n64 X2 TL-50 is a dual core, 64bit Processor, don't even consider the Sempron!\n\n100GB drive to a 80GB drive?  Is that a question?\n\nComputer Help Page\n\nhttp://www.diskgenius.com/\n\nhttp://www.pcbeginner.com/tools/pcdoctor.htm\n\nhttp://www.pcguide.com/byop/index.htm\n\nhttp://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/\n\nhttp://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/ntfs-boot-iso.html\n\nhttp://www.disk-image.net/products.htm\n\nhttp://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm\n\nhttp://www.errornuker.com/info/01.php?hop=product1\n\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder\n\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads2.html\n\nhttp://www.ntcompatible.com/Acronis_True_Image_9.0_Build_2337_s61449.html\n\nhttp://www.theosfiles.com/\n\nhttp://www.data-recovery-reviews.com/windows-startup-disasterrecovery.htm?gclid=CMSl0b7X2YcCFSJxYAodKy6Lpw\n\nhttp://www.winternals.com/\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,25181-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/Windows-XP-PowerPacker.shtml\n\nhttp://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,674406,00.asp\n\nhttp://windows.about.com/od/tipsarchive/l/bltip632.htm\nVisit our Helpdesk for PC Bug Doctor\nhttp://www.maximumsoftwaresupport.com\nPC Beginner  software\nhttp://www.pchell.com/support/limitedconnectivity.shtml\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/\nhttp://www.bootdisk.com/utility.htm\nChapter 1: Purchasing Components \nChapter 2: Component Overview \nChapter 3: Installing the CPU, Heatsink, and RAM On The Mainboard \nChapter 4: Installing The Mainboard In The Case \nChapter 5: Installing Drives \nChapter 6: Connecting Components \nChapter 7: Installing AGP and PCI Cards \nChapter 8: Testing the System and Completing Assembly \nChapter 9: Installing Windows XP \nChapter 10: Configuring Windows XP \nChapter 11: Installing A Dual Boot Operating System (Linux And Windows XP) \nChapter 12: Home Video -- “So, You Want to Be the Next Steven Spielberg?” \nChapter 13: What’s Next? \n\nhttp://www.hardwareanalysis.com\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/download4007.html\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/\nhttp://www.free-pc-checkup.com/\nhttp://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/?ref=Googlebspeed\nhttp://pcperformancetools.com/recovermyfiles.htm\n\nBUILD YOU OWN COMPUTER:\n   www.directron.com\n   www.newegg.com\n   www.monarchcomputers.com

THERE PRETTY CLOSE ON SOME BENCHMARKS GO WITH ONE RAP ONE SATA RAID 1 IF U DONT GAME GO WITH ATHLON X2 GREAT CHIP I HAVE 4200 BUT THEY HAVE 3800 CLOSE TOO THE SAME PRICE AS YOUR 3700 AT NEWEGG.COM

u can speed ur pc by utilising less amount of ram in housekeeping functions , such as exitting any unneccessary startups, through msconfig command on the command prompt you can reach the startup list and u can uncheck any unneccessary process such as windows messenger etc. from automatically loading , then u can defragment your disk from startup>system tools>disk defragmentor.\nalso increasing ram is good option but it requires investment, then keep your registry cleaned by using any good registry cleaner , but only full versions will benifit you.

It doesn't matter There is not gonna be much difference You are better off with 98 or XP BTW, I think it is Vista

run dxdiag and it will tell you everythiing about your computer dont be scared to open your tower and get a better look @ the moutherboard to see exactly what your working with

Turions are faster.  clicks and pops are 100% driver issues since its rare to have IRQ conflicts now with PCI steering.

No, you can not say this. It depends on the programming of the application. In several benchmark tests a higher clocked single core CPU is still faster than a dual core CPU.\nI found a good article where the two processors Intel Pentium D 820 (dual core) and Pentium 4 670 (single core HT) are put in opposition.\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2005q2/pentiumd-820/index.x?pg=1

It is very easy to do yourself if it is a desktop. My husband and I did this to our daughters computer last night. Took 3 min top. Slide off the side, put in the ram...done.

well if you need it just for the applications that you wrote about any speed over 1GZ would be more than ennough,however you should keep in mind that these programs in their new versions require more and more resources so my advice is to go for at least 1.5 GZ and something like 256 or 512 RAM and at least 10 GB hard drive. I hope i helped you.

Less now than ever before.  The key to maximum performance now is matching the CPU, Memory, Bus, Hard drive and Video speeds.  Increasing any one of these may have little effect if the other four are "slow" in comparison.

I think if you read it carefully it says "up to" 30 fps. \n\nActual performance depends on the setup and the host CPU, as well as window size and all that.

Right-clicking on your desktop will only tell you what speed you are running right now (AGP 2x, AGP 4x, or AGP 8x), it isn't going to tell you what speed your mobo will run at.  Download one of these, to find out what speeds your motherboard is capable of running at: AIDA32: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html Sandra: http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir=&location=home&langx=en&a=  \n\nYou can't get a "good" card for under $75, no matter what.  But for under $130, you can get a really good card, here's the links really good ATI card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102666 and good nVidia AGP card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130220
