Note on Processor Speeds
Processor speeds are usually marked somewhere on the processor, but their exact location varies from processor type to processor type. Therefore, you need to know what you are looking for when trying to determine the processor speed.
For the generation of computers we currently get at Free Geek most have three digit numbers somewhere on the processor that end in one of these ways:
- 00 (a multiple of 100)
- 33 (one third of 100)
- 50 (one half of 100)
- 66 (two thirds of 100)
This gives us number like 333, 250, 466, and 700.
NOTE: Due to superstition, there were no 666 processors marketed. Rather, they used the number 667.
