what is the difference between dual core and dual processor?

does the dual core run at high temp's due to the fact that it is one single processor acting like two?

i am thinking about selling my laptop and home computer/server to build me a 64 bit 5.0 dualcore.....:cool:

i want this next build to last me a good while-everything seems to be getting out dated so quickly, who can afford to keep up?:mad:

the thing is i really dont want to spend more than £400 on board and processor---

**********amd athlon 64bit 5.0 socket-am2***********
**********asus r.o.g crosshair nv590****************

what do you think of the above?
 
thats what the 64bit one is "64bit 5.0 x2"....

just wondering if amd do owt thats faster but not too much more expensive!!

money is the problem lol
 
Conroe is Core 2 Duo, the new LGA775 cpu Intel has...really solid and are supposed to be low energy consuming and great price/power ratio
 
64bit 5.0x2? Closest thing that comes to mind is the X2 5000+ processor.

And you should be concerned about the energy consumption, unless of course you're gonna cool it down with water, dry ice or LN of course. Cause the more energy it consumes the more heat it also generates.
 
AMD ATHLON AM2x2 DUAL CORE 5.0+

ah yeh-im going for the water cooled system with 3 fans on the radiator i want this baby to work for me

There is no such thing!
 
That was the CPU I was referring to in the first place, nobody calls 'em 5.0+ or 4.0+ etc.

And your sig is too long.

And to answer your original question, the difference between dual core and dual processor is that:
A dual core processor has two cores in one CPU while dual processor involves having 2 separate CPU's on the same motherboard.

woops didnt know....

im kind of new to pc stuff so its a long journey of learning, just dont want my learning to cost too much
 
well whats faster dual core 4.8 or dual processor 2.4?? (32bit same fsb)

does the dual core create more heat due to the fact thet it is trying to run like two?
 
thought so-well what bout a 64bit 4.6 against dual processor 2.4?

my m8 just built the 64bit one and i dont think its really startling speed, but hey neither is mine
