What is the equivalent of 3.2 ghz of a single intel processor equivalent to in dual-core?

numbah1mizfit asked:


I have a piece of software that says it requires a 3.2ghz intel processor and I’m buying a new computer. I know that dual-core processors are faster but I need to know what the equivalent to a 3.2 ghz single processor would be in terms of both an Intel and AMD dual-core processors.
The software I’m looking at is graphics design software so I guess one could look at it as a game or maybe high -end video editing software.

How much will it cost to upgrade my computer processor to run Half-Life 2: episode one better?

rick o asked:


My current laptop is running Windows Vista, a 1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64×2 processor, 1982MB of RAM, DirectX 10, and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150.

Btw, I am pretty computer illiterate haha. Now, Half-Life 2 runs fine at medium settings except for when there’s tons of smoke in the game. I recently bought Half-Life 2: Episode One but my computer has the hardest time running it, its practically unplayable with all the lag. I was wondering how much it would cost to upgrade my processor to the recommended 2.4GHz that the game recommends?
