It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. is a very good replacement but, if I wanted to wait a while, the Pentium II would come down in price.
