My CarPC died, and instead of buying a new one just for the car, I am gonna take this desktop system and build it into a custom case for the car.
Ok, I have not upgraded my desktop computer in about 3 years now. It is a P4 2.8Ghz machine (Overclocked to 3.2Ghz) with 2 gigs of memory.
I feel like such a noob asking this
What is the deal with the dual core processors, and how are they rated as far as true Ghz speed?
All of the dual core MB combo's that I see are from like 1.8 to 2.8 Ghz. With a dual core system, does 1.8 Ghz mean that it is a total "3.2 Combined Ghz processor speed"?
If it is not a direct doubling of speed, then what does it actually translate to in terms of "true speed"?
I know something has to be different, as this board is 3 years old, and most of the processors out there are the same speed as this one 3 years later!! What gives?
