does the amd 64 2800=2.8 ghz? and if not then what does that number represent?

its a series code name. the 2800 is not 2.8 ghz, its much less. but amd cpus have higher cycles per minute, making thei cpus more powerfull. also, because of the 64bit, but there are no 64bit programs, and few os taht arre 64 bit

2800+ means it is the quivalent to a P4 2.8GHz
