Can anyone explain to me the performance difference between duo cores or quad cores. like whats the difference with a 2.4 GHz duo to a 2.4 Ghz quad?
 
A Core 2 Duo prcoessor has 2 cores. (basically 2 processors) A Core 2 Quad has 4 cores (basically 4 processors)

Clock speeds are not multiplied by the number of cores either, that is a misconception.

As of yet there are few games that require a quad core for good framerates, however professional applications will perform better with quad cores and lots of RAM.

A dual core is preferable for everday computer use like internet browsing and microsoft office stuff.
