Nowadays, not only the clock of the processor defines the processing
capacity.  The processor communicates with the memory through the bus.
This bus must function, at least, at the speed of the memory.
	This year will be appearing in the market processors with clock equal
or grather than  500Mz. Certainly many of us will make upgrade, but it is
important to know, among others things:

		1. Clock of processador(500, 550Mz, etc)
		2. Amount of memory, in Kb, of cache L1("L " of level).
		3. Amount of memory, in Kb, of cache L2("L " of level).
		4. Maximum speed of the bus, that establish the connection
		   betwen the processor and the memory.
		5. Maximum speed of the memory.

	All these factors are important to obtain the maximum in processing.

Best regards,
