Multiply by 2 for dual core?
That can either mean a dual-socket machine with dual-core CPUs (two CPUs with two cores each) or a quad-core CPU (one CPU with four cores).

What is Socket A?
It is a term used to refer to places that you plug things into your mother board i.e.; CPU, memory, add on cards etc. Additionally in a different context it also represents a single connection between two network applications.[edit: synonym=port]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_socket Internet socket (or commonly, a network socket or socket) is the endpoint of bidirectional communication flow across an Internet Protocol-based computer network, such as the InternetA socket is one end-point of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the network.
Which Intel CPU was the first to introduced the two processors in one package concept?
Pentium D was 1st Intel desktop CPU to put 2 CPU's in same package called dual core. It uses a 775 pin motherboard socket, now a standard for many Intel processors

What are the functions of a CPU slot?
CPU slot(s) and/or socket(s)The type of CPU slot or socket determines which processors the motherboard can use. The most popular CPU connectors are Socket 370 (late-model Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors), Socket A (AMD Athlon and Duron), Socket 478 (current Celeron and Pentium 4), Socket 423 (old-style Pentium 4), Slot 1 (old-style Pentium II/III and Celeron), Slot A (older-style Athlon), and the obsolete Socket 7 (Intel Pentium and AMD K6-* processors). Some motherboards have two or more CPU connectors, allowing them to support multiple processors. A few motherboards have both Slot 1 and Socket 370 connectors, allowing them to support either type of CPU (but not both at once).There are three versions of Socket 370, which differ in pinouts and which processors they support. Early Socket 370/PPGA motherboards support only older Mendocino-core Celeron processors. Later Socket 370/FC-PGA motherboards support Coppermine-core Pentium III FC-PGA processors and Coppermine128-core Celeron FC-PGA processors. The final Socket 370 motherboards, which Intel refers to as "Universal" models, support any Socket 370 processor, including Tualatin-core Pentium III and Celeron processors. Although Socket 370 is now obsolescent, tens of millions of Socket 370 systems remain in use. When you upgrade such a system it is important to check the documentation to determine which Socket 370 variant that system uses.

How to connect two hard drives and a dvdcdrw?
Check the motherboard. You can connect two drives to a single parallel cable. Most traditional motherboards have two IDE sockets and you can run a maximum of four drives. (one cable per socket, two drives per cable) but you need to configure the drives with jumpers as "primary" and "slave". Many of the newer motherboards have a "SATA" (Serial ATA) socket or some combination of SATA and IDE but you'd have to use a SATA drive with a SATA cable to use the SATA socket.

Deciding If A CPU Upgrade Is Cost-Effective?
Upgrading a CPU involves installing a new motherboard and rewiring the power, keyboard, mouse, monitor and other connections. Amateurs are strongly discouraged from attempting this on their own; they would be much better of seeking professional help. Before attempting a CPU upgrade, it is wise to determine whether or not such an upgrade is even cost-effective. The good news is that CPU prices drastically fall with time. A state-of-the-art CPU that costs $500 will probably cost $200 a year later and $100 a year after that. The first and biggest hurdle to overcome is socket compatibility. A socket is a component attached to a printed circuit board that provides a connection between the CPU and the circuit board. There are many technical specifications of sockets used by different CPU makers, such as AMD and Intel. Sockets are also based on the design of computers, or computer architecture. Socket compatibility is the most important part of upgrading a CPU, since if the CPU is not compatible with the socket, it will not fit on the circuit board. Before shopping for a new CPU, it is advised to locate the owner’s manual and discover what kinds of CPUs the motherboard is designed to support. If the manual cannot be found, the motherboard socket normally has the relevant specification engraved on the side. Unfortunately, it is usually located below the CPU’s heat sink, so without the owner’s manual you actually cannot tell what the socket type is without partially starting to disassemble the CPU. It is also possible to check what the CPU version and type is by accessing the BIOS setup during the computer’s boot cycle. The second hurdle is that one cannot assume compatibility simply because the socket is correct. This may run counter to the above, but the CPU and memory speed supported depend on two things: the chipset and the motherboard model. Unless one has access to the motherboard manual and/or has experience discerning the details from the motherboards circuitry, it is better not to attempt upgrading. If it is possible to figure out the exact motherboard model and version, the relevant information is easily available from the Internet. Cost-effectively upgrading a CPU depends on knowing the two key points outlined above. The rest is a simple matter of exchanging one CPU for another and fitting it to the motherboard correctly.
