Confused about processor speed.      I am going to buy a new
computer and at the moment I have my eyes on two.      One of
them has the following processor: AMD DUAL CORE X2 3600 , I
googled it and apparently the processor speed is 1.9GHz     The
other one has a INTEL CORE 2 DUAL e6320 and google says it is
1.86HGz.      My problem is that I don't think their clock speed
could be so low specially the INTEL. My theory is that in fact
if I buy INTEL CORE2DUAL E6320 I will get 2 processors with the
speed of 1.86 - hence the name DUAL - which means that I will
have about 3700GHz speed, am I right?     Last edited by

with a dual core processor.     A dual core processor consists
of two processors o
