SQL Select and primary keys

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I should know this but I dont and cant find an answer via Google...

If my table as a primary key bases on multiple fields and I do a
select with a Where statement using those fields, will the select be
faster because of the primary keys?

Hope that makes sense...

TIA
John
