Speed in computers can be in various things. The CPU (central processing unit) is measured in ghz (giga hertz). The more speed it has, the faster it can process data. Dual core means that you have 2 CPUs in 1 and therefore 1.44GHZ dual core Cpu means that you have a 2.88 GHZ cpu, yet technically speaking it is much faster than 1 2.88 GHZ. Other computer hardware that is measured in speed are RAM (Random Access Memory) and the Graphics card. The Graphics card is the hardware that processes graphics. The faster it is, the more graphics it can process (frames per second). One normally needs a fast graphics card for games. The RAM is where current files that are being used are stored. The faster the RAM is the faster it can access the files.
