My processor speed is 2.2 Ghz, and I have 4 cores. What is the total processor speed?

2.2 Ghz, that can do 4 instructions at one time. Each core represents a cpu or processor.

Question

I want to purchase a computer. Is an all-in-one, an assembled computer, or a branded computer best?

Community Answer

Get a good brand if you don't know about computing, but if you do have a fair bit of knowledge about how computers work, it's always best to build your own. That means you'll be able to customise it however you like.

Question

Is a higher number on a processor speed mean it's faster?

Community Answer

A higher GHz number means it's faster. If you are talking about the model number, then it depends on your GHz number.

Question

How do I test a newly-bought laptop which has no OS?

Community Answer

If you can insert a disc drive or USB in it, you can install a OS. Burn a bootable disc image into a disc and then put the disc in your laptop and power on.

Question

If the demo version runs well, does that mean if I buy the software it will also run well?

Community Answer

Yes; sometimes even better, as the full game may have more hardware optimization built in.
