It's like comparing liters to centimeters. it can't be done, really.

Here are the top 3 PCs in speed in the world: 1.IBM's BlueGene/L - 360 teraflops 2.IBM's BGW - 115 teraflops 3.IBM's ASC Purple - 93 teraflops a teraflop is 10000 gighertz.

Jaguar is a petascale supercomputer built by Cray at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. As of November 2009, it was the world's fastest computer with a peak performance of more than 1750 teraflops (1.75 petaflops). In computing, FLOPS (or flops or flop/s) is an acronym meaning FLoating point Operations Per Second. The FLOPS is a measure of a computer's performance, especially in fields of scientific calculations that make heavy use of floating point calculations, similar to the older, simpler, instructions per second.

Guys love fast computers. There's something thrilling about having as much power as possible under the hood that just overwhelms us. But figuring out the fastest desktop computer in today's market can be tricky. Here are a few things to look for when trying to judge speed.

To start, the tendency has been over multiple processors these days. Computers used to have a single processor, and the fastest processor wins. But what happens if you have two processors? Or four? It's harder to figure out. Basically, two processors have a fantastic advantage over single processors, but for quad processors you can only get a big boost if the programs you're using have been specifically designed to take advantage of it. So the money for a quad processor may be better spent elsewhere.

The computer's motherboard is essential too, as this is the equivalent of the bloodstream of a computer. It takes all the information from all the separate parts and moves them around. Speed on a motherboard was important back with the first computer ever made, and it's important here too. As of this writing the Intel motherboards have a clear advantage over motherboards, but your choice of processor will determine what board will work. Do some careful thinking before buying anything.

Finally, make sure you have enough memory to run everything. You need 4GB of RAM for sure, since I'm assuming you're running 64-bit software, but even if you're not, with anything less you can experience slowdown. If you like playing games you may get some added benefit from more than 4 gigabytes, but they're probably not necessary.

Careful selection of these three major parts will help you work out the fastest computer possible. It's an art, you're crafting something here, so there's no right or wrong. But through experimentation, you'll find a sweet spot sooner rather than later.
