More than 1 core is only useful if the software is written in such a way that it can do 2 or more things in parallel.

Wikipedia can answer your questions and more!


But it was just confusing me. So I was hoping that the fine people here at RAFO could give me an "idiot's guide" or some quick answers on how all that worked. ;)

I'm not computer technically inclined, but I do love to pwn me some noobs. ;)

Forum posts should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the topic but short enough to keep your attention.

that specific example: yes, that'd be more than sufficient. *NM* - 06/04/2011 03:32:07 PM 169 Views

I was assuming we were talking about two processors of the same brand. - 06/04/2011 10:51:14 PM 403 Views
Phenom II is about the same speed as a core 2 - 07/04/2011 03:47:08 PM 429 Views
Yeah, sorry, I made a dyslexic typo. - 07/04/2011 08:42:46 PM 594 Views
It depends on whether or not the software is written to use multiple cores. - 06/04/2011 04:03:44 PM 556 Views

If it's just video games, go to this link. - 06/04/2011 08:59:36 PM 567 Views
It's not enough to know clock speed and number of cores. - 06/04/2011 09:56:24 PM 486 Views
Which software are you looking at? - 07/04/2011 04:28:16 PM 584 Views
