Two questions

[compfreak4334]

1. Whats faster? Core duo 2 1.86 or Pen 4 HT 3.00

2. Whats the combined power of 2 core duo 1.86?

1. Core 2 duo 1.86 kills the P4 HT 3GHz

2. if you mean both cores, then a total of 3.72GHz...

Erm, no, wrong. Absolutely not. You cannot guage the power of a Dual Core CPU by adding the clock frequency of its cores together. A dual core X6800 CPU does not mean it works at 5.86Ghz.

A Core 2 Duo, running at 1.86GHz, is just two processors running side by side at 1.86GHz. So, you could encode 2 movies at the same time (one per processor).

Yeah yeah I know. I'm just saying, that both cores are 1.84GHz. You cant measure power by speed anymore.
