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. Front side bus (FSB) and Cache are the other numbers to be looking at, again, the higher the number the better.
