That CPU is sufficient for Fallout: New Vegas. Generally any decent multi-core processor will suffice. What is of importance however is the amount of memory or graphics card your machine has.
Confirm that the BIOS firmware support the dual core CPU
Yes it is.
A dual core processor has two processing cores, whereas a quad core has four.
It's better to have the Quad Core 2.4 GHz CPU because most games nowadays support multi-core processors.
When you have more than one core in your CPU, you have a multi core CPU. No matter how many cores are in your CPU, everyone of them is working at the same frequency. It is very important to know that when you have a dual core CPU for example and there are two cores wowking at 2Ghz each, your CPU is NOT 4Ghz it is still 2Ghz.
What CPU can you buy for a core 2 quad processor Q6700 2.66GHz 8 MB CPU? The Core 2 Quad Processor Q6700 2.66GHz ISthe CPU. CPU means "Central Processing Unit", which is the processor chip.
Yes & no. If they are both single-core (one processor) than yes, the 2.0GHz is clocked at a higher speed. But in the case of multi-core processors it varies...such as: A 3.0GHz single-core CPU is "equivalent" to at 1.5GHz dual-core (two processors) CPU. Or a 1.5GHz Quad-core (four processors) CPU is faster than a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU because it'd be 1.3GHz x 4 processors versus 1.5GHz x 2 processors.
Compared to modern processors that are out today such as any of the Core i* series, hell no. When it was released however, it was a decent processor.
A "dual core" CPU is one that has 2 CPU cores (as opposed to 1 in older computers). "Core 2 Duo" is line of (dual core) CPUs produced by Intel.
Core (or iCore) is a new processor (CPU) range from Intel
Intel core i7
