Dual core is two cores as you know, so an AMD 2.2 would be in fact 4.4. And, AMD's performance is much better than Intels. for example, I had an AMD 1.6, and my friend had an intep Pentium 4 2.6 GHZ, and when we compared them together with a CPU testing program, mine got a higher rank, although it was 1.6. So I believe the AMD dual core would work much better. --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan & Terrie Robbins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Blind-Computing" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 2:17 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Dual Core versus regular
