ok i am not very knowledgable about computers
so to alot this would be a very dumb question
so dont insult me, if you dont want to answer then shutup ( i mean to say it nicely)

When people say 2ghz single core cpu it means 2ghz from the whole cpu
Now with dual core if they say 2ghz dual core, does that mean 2ghz from each
core or 2x2ghz?

Each core runs at 2ghz. And no it doesnt mean you have 2 cores at 2ghz each = 4ghz CPU. Just two cores running at 2 ghz each.

Unless you are an ebay scammer selling a Q6600 as a (2.4GHz * 4) 9.6GHz machine...

Doom is right, you don't add any of the number together. Its simply two cores, each one is running at 2GHz.

should this be a sticky for those that buy/sell on ebay?

Glad you felt you could ask the question, and that the response was good.

What would be better. A 4 GHZ CPU on a single threaded application or a dual 2 GHZ on a multithreaded application?
