Cycles

If you''ve got a 200 MHz processor,

1 cycle = 1/200,000,000 of a second.

so on a 400 mHz processor it would be 1/400,000,000 of a second?

I feel like typing something (), so I''ll tell you more than you asked for. A Hertz is a generic unit for "pulses per second" (pulses can be electrical, waves of something, whatever). Following the "syntax" of the metric system a kilohertz (KHz) is 1,000 Hz and a megahertz (MHz) is 1,000,000 Hz. Therefore 100 Mhz is equal to 100,000,000 Pulses/Sec (Pulses/Sec is the same as Pulses per Sec). Therefore, to get the value in the right units we flip it:

100,000,000 Pulses        1 Second
------------------ = ------------------
    1 Second         100,000,000 Pulses

That''s true due to their differing units. Therefore one pulse (one clock cycle) takes 1*10^-8 seconds (since 1*10^-8 divided by 1 is the same as the above equation).
