There are unique processors designed specifically for servers by nearly all the main processor manufacturers, among them are Intel's Xeon range, AMD's Opteron 32bit or 64bit and Sun's UltraSPARC series. These processors often have different architecture allowing the use of their dual processing capabilities or greater system buffering.

There are unique processors designed specifically for servers by nearly all the main processor manufacturers, among them are Intel's Xeon range, AMD's Opteron 32bit or 64bit and Sun's UltraSPARC series. These processors often have different architecture allowing the use of their dual processing capabilities or greater system buffering.
The faster the processor's clock speed, which is measured in MHz (megahertz) or GHz (gigahertz), the faster it can execute instructions, though many other factors also affect overall performance. For casual computer users, select a clock speed that is one or two notches below the maximum. This will ensure that you won't pay for the latest and greatest processor and that your computer's technology won't go out of date all too soon.

Memory
Measured in megabytes (MB), the more memory you have, the more applications and files you can work on at once. In order of increasing speed, the most common types of RAM are: SDRAM (synchronous dynamic RAM), DDR (double data rate) SDRAM, and RDRAM (Rambus dynamic RAM). Each memory type is available at different speeds. Regardless of the type of RAM you want, it is recommended that you get at least 256MB.
RAM chips are packaged on small, printed circuit boards that fit into slots mounted on the motherboard. These modules are usually called dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and single in-line memory modules (SIMMs). Most new PCs use 168-pin DIMMs. If you have an older computer (Pentium or earlier), it may need memory packaged in 72-pin SIMMs. If you have a Pentium 4 PC, it may have RIMM slots for accommodating RDRAM memory modules. Some new Pentium 4 PCs eschew RDRAM for less expensive SDRAM or DDR SDRAM, however. Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM): SDRAM has been around for about five years and includes several versions, differing primarily in bus speed: PC66, PC100, and PC133. The numbers indicate each type's speed, as expressed in megahertz. While the higher-speed memory may seem the more appealing choice, your PC chipset ultimately makes that decision. Owners of older PCs that use 66MHz DIMMs, however, can save some money by upgrading with higher-speed modules. The new memory will work, but it won't run at full speed. Double-Data-Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM): This is an enhanced version of SDRAM that effectively runs at double the bus speed of conventional SDRAM. Extended Data Out (EDO), Fast Page Mode (FPM): If your PC is more than five years old, it may use EDO or FPM memory. Although you can still find these memory modules--usually priced significantly higher than most newer memory types. Most likely, such a system probably needs a lot more upgrades than just memory. RDRAM, developed by Rambus and championed by Intel, is the latest high-speed memory technology. Pentium 4 PCs equipped with the Intel 850 chipset use RDRAM; newer Pentium 4 systems based on the Intel 845 chipset can use less expensive SDRAM or DDR SDRAM.

The chipset is the heart of the computer and is the hub for all data transfer. It determines how fast components like the processor, memory, keyboard and various plug-ins can function in relation to each other. Not all chipsets support all components that you may want with your computer. Before selecting a chipset, decide what features you want with your computer, and then check to see that the chipset supports them.

The operating system, or OS, performs basic tasks like running software applications, files on your hard drive, and directing peripherals like a DVD drive. The Apple OS--X 10.2, or "Jaguar" offers fewer hardware and software choices than Windows, but is often preferred by graphic and sound design professionals as well as among students and universities. The latest version of Windows, Microsoft Windows XP, comes included on many PCs on the market today. If you're going to a LAN or WAN (for business use), Windows XP Pro may offer more operational flexibility. Other OS like Linux offer the experienced computer user more control, though the user-friendliness of these OS is not as advanced as Windows or Jaguar.

PCI replaced ISA as the standard bus type, and unlike ISA buses, enables dynamic configuration of a peripheral device. When a system is booted the PCI card's BIOS and the system BIOS interact and negotiate the resources that the PCI card needs. This enables the PCI bus to provide a detailed description of all the connected PCI. PCI-Express is a new version of the PCI computer bus that uses existing PCI programming and communications standards. Based on a much faster serial communications, it is being supported primarily by Intel. The higher speeds reached by PCI-Express will allow it to ultimately replace almost all existing internal buses, including AGP and PCI. PCI-X is an extension to the PCI interface developed by IBM, HP, and Compaq. The extension allows data to be transferred at increased rates (up to 1 GB per second using a 64-bit bus running at 133MHz). PCI-X peripherals are fully compatible with older PCI and vice-versa, but will not run faster than the chipset or peripheral allows. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a single device to the computer's motherboard. Many classify AGP as a type of computer bus; even though AGP does not allow multiple devices to be connected. Some modern motherboards have multiple independent AGP slots built-in.
