kevinb721 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) basically, dual core processors can not only process 2 different threads of information at the same time (this is present in a hyper-threading processor) but they can actually process TWICE the information twice as fast. Think of it as a 2 lane highway...one lane for information to travel to the processor, and one back. this would be a single core. Dual core would mean essentially 2 separate processors, (technically 2 separate cores though) so it would be like having TWO 2 lane roads next to eachother. Hyper threading is more like one highway with 4 lanes. 2 for traveling to the processor, and 2 for traveling back. Dual core is more efficient in saving cpu power while operating multiple tasks...i.e burning a dvd or cd while you are surfing the net and playing music. i hope that explains it better if you guys didnt understand the technical description lol.

Dale Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I think that the biggest bottle-neck in the computer is the IDE bus. Anyone of you ever tried burning a DVD while playing a DVD in a separate drive? It sometimes pauses so it can allow for cache-filling. The PCI bus is another culprit.

Cdizzle Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Dual core FTMFW, when burning dvds on my old single core processor, it would take 100% and I couldnt do anything on my pc, now it only takes 50% so I can do other things in the freaking 2 hours and 30 min it takes to transcode in nero...
