Processor Choices
A processor is the heart of any custom built computer. It is one of the main factors in deciding how fast you want it to go!
When choosing a processor, you need to be looking at the speed which is nowadays measured in "GHz". The higher the GHz, the faster it is. Once upon a time, processors used to be single core, they have now advanced into multicore processors. A 'quad' core processor is going to be faster than 'dual' core processor.
