whats the difference better pentium dual core and core 2 duo????

and 2nd question, im looking at the e6400 it says its got 2mb cahce is that actually 4 coz its doubled or just 2?
 
If your talking about the Pentium Dual Core E2000 series there just a core 2 with most of the L2 stripped and runs on a 800MHZ FSB. The E6400 only has 2mbs of L2
 
so the E6400 would be betteR?

what i dont get is, my cpu at the mo is running at 2.4ghz, so i get a e6400, but only one core works for one app say for a game, the e6400 is 2.14ghz, so techinically if im playing a game its gonna be slower as the speed is slower?
 
Unless your getting a good deal on a E6400, price wise and performance wise the E6750 or even better the E8200 are better processors. But clock for clock the Core 2 is faster than the Athlon so overall the E6400 is better than a single core 3800

Click to expand...

If one core works on one game, then that games is coded for one core only... and it's very old. Newer games will utilize both cores.
