Actually, almost all modern x86 systems have a
14.31818MHz master
clock. It's usually first multiplied up by a PLL chip (e.g.
PI6C104), then further multiplied by an on-chip PLL in the CPU.
So all x86 systems since the PII are 14.31818MHz systems?
OK, so if I buy a 2GHz PC, what signal is that 2GHz describing? And how
does it relate to signals I can measure?
