Transcription: The clock chip contains a precisely cut crystal that vibrates at a steady specific rate when electricity is sent through it. The vibrations are used to time all the vents and operations in your PC. When you hear someone say they have a 25 megahertz or 33 megahertz system, they're talking about the clock chip. The higher the number of megahertz generated by the clock chip, the faster your PC will run.
