this has allways confused me about duel core processors, is a 1.6 ghz duel core the same as a 3.2 ghz single core

thanx

no you cant just add them up like that. a single core might have faster clock, but the newer dual core is more efficient per clock and can do much more tasks at once
 
Yes it will do fine on a Dual Core. And no it doesnt neeed a 3ghz. dual core. What game are you talking about?
 
oblivon, it asks for a min of 2ghz and a reccomended 3 ghz single core, if i were to buy a duel core what speed would you reccomend, please keep in mind im a student with little cash
 
currently, there is no dual core that is 3.2ghz stock speed except AMD's 6400 X2. like i said before dual cores are more efficient in its instructions so it does not need to have the same clock at single cores. pretty much almost any dual core will beat almost any single core. if you're on a budget, pick the cheapest dual you can find. preferably, go with intel but avoid the dual core cerlerons. gaming is more GPU based than CPU
 
Since you have that Asrock board. Like said any of the Core 2 would play it fine. Just go for the most your budget will let you. Your biggest problem will be the 9250.
