Which is better for gaming a 1.6 ghz dual core processor or a 2.6 ghz single core processor?
First you must understand that with the new Core processors, Intel developed an entirely new architecture. Meaning just because it runs at 1.6ghz, it still completes more operations per second that the 2.6ghz model.
Now, if we compare applications performance, the dual core will always win, especially with multiple applications or multi threaded applications. There are only a few games that support multi threading as of now, but even so, in the future most games will, and they will take advantage of that second core. Since the new architecture of the Core line is so great, your 1.6ghz dual core will stomp the 2.6ghz P4 into the ground.
Hope this answers your question :)
-Rob
I disagree with Rob. While the average user will find the 1.6Ghz dual core to be faster, the 2.6Ghz Pentium 4 can utilize hyper threading. Using Linux you can optimize and access greater hyper threading (if your BIOS supports it) than windows. http://software.Intel.com/en-us/articles/methods-to-utilize-intels-hyper-threading-technology-with-Linux/
this is just a taste
If you become familiar and apply more advanced and specific hyper threading to programs you use all the time, a 50$ Intel Pentium 4 3.8GHz CPU off eBay will give a 300$ 1.6ghz quad core a run for its money.
Hope this enlightens you :)

What is a direct page register?
This 8 bit register contains the most-significant byte of the address to be used in the direct addressing mode. The contents of this register are concatenated with the byte following the direct addressing mode operation code to form the 16-bit effective address. The direct page register contents appear as bits A15 through A8 of the address.
There is 1,024Kb (Kilobytes) in 1Mb (Megabytes), So that will equal to 32,768Kb in 32Mb. Also for additional info, theres 1,024Mb in 1Gb (Gigabytes).
A KB is smaller than a MB because there are 1000 kilobites (KB) in a megabite (MB)
Improved Answer
A dual core CPU means that the processor (chip) has two cores built into it. You can think of a core as a brain, which allows the processor to do more calculations at once. If you yourself had more brains, you would be able to do more at once. It is the same concept with processors. Having more cores doesn't actually mean you have a better processor though. Since an Intel i5 can take on an AMD 6 core processor.
Original Answer
it is a single cpu with multiple cores that work together. i am building a computer that has an 6core AMD processor in it. there is one cpu that i put in.
Which is best AMD FX 8120 8 core processor or Intel Core i7 Processor?
Intel, by default, is a better processor for people who play games frequently and multitask. AMD is good for multitasking, and not so much for games, however I personally have an AMD and I can run 2 servers up at once and play Minecraft at once. AMD is good for cheaper use, Intel is good for people who can afford it and built for games.
Personally, I'd say AMD on this one, unless the GHz speed level is lower. Although - it is your choice. I'd recommend the cheaper one on this end, unless you can afford the more expensive.
When your iPod has been stolen can it be tracked or shut down?
I dont think it can i had my ipod stolen yesterday and i was on the computer for hours trying to track it i asked apple if they could track it and they said no i felt let down m\by apple luckily there are only 4 suspects and they all live in my neighborhood
Well, all motherboards are socket motherboards (When we're talking about the personal computer, of course!). The socket and socket type are what determine which processor you can use with your board!
Take AM2 / AM3+ for example. Motherboards with the AM2 / AM3+ socket can house processors from the Phenom and FX-X family of AMD processors. It is very important that you make sure the socket type on your motherboard and processor match if you are considering doing an upgrade-- Different socket types aren't compatible!

Why not just build micro-controllers that contain everything on it?
Many manufacturers are doing just that! You can buy microcontrollers now that contain flash memory, ram, a/d and d/a conversion, dsp, even a fpu right on chip! The limitation is at some point the chip becomes so specialized that it has limited application. That means it will not sell in very large quantities. The chip makers have to balance these factors when deciding how much stuff to put on a microcontroller. Also at issue are interconnects inside the chip as well as package pinout. Some chips now have so many pins on such a very fine pitch that soldering/assembly is becoming more and more difficult. Dissipation of heat is also a major factor as the microcontroller increases in complexity.

What is offset in microprocessors?
Refers to a value added to a base address to produce a second address. For example, if B represents address 100, then the expression,
B+5
would signify the address 105. The 5 in the expression is the offset.
Specifying addresses using an offset is called relative addressing because the resulting address is relative to some other point. Another word for offset is displacement.

What is concurrent instruction?
Concurrent instruction refers to a teaching approach where multiple students, often of varying skill levels, learn the same content simultaneously, but with differentiated support tailored to their individual needs. This method encourages collaboration and peer learning, allowing teachers to provide targeted assistance while fostering a sense of community in the classroom. It is commonly used in inclusive education settings to ensure all learners can engage with the curriculum effectively.
The Control Unit and Harness are strongly recommended if you are going to tow anything that requires lights/brake controls. FYI, you don't have to get HONDA control units, most businesses that sell trailers sell various name brands and can do the wiring for you. Anyway, the wiring for the taillights and brakes lights of the vehicle are not strong enough to carry enough power to supply the electrical on a trailer (very dim-could cause a short). The Harness connects a power source (battery) to the trailer wires. The Control Unit is connected to the vehicle wiring as well as the Harness. When you step on the brake pedal, the Control Unit senses it and allows the power to go to the proper wiring on the trailer directly from the power source, therefore you will have brighter lights on the trailer. The same for parking and turn indicators. This is worth the money. I have this set up on my 2003 Odyssey.
Is it possible to have a dual OS in a single dual processor motherboard?
Yes, you will just have to choose at startup which system you will use.
duel booting is a service through which we can install 2 or more OS. but for this we can install one SOS(Simple Operating System) and one NOS (Network Operating System) that's it.
Which is the fastest a 64 bit CPU 32 bit CPU 16 bit CPU?
64bit, It can use more than 3gb of ram, while 32bit can utilise only 3gb.
How do you use multicore processors efficiently?
It really depends on how you use it. If you are just running Microsoft Office, it makes little difference in performance. I edit video and graphics for a living and having a Multicore processor is vital. It really speeds up the whole process. For instance on my old computer it took about 15 minutes for a 1 gigabyte Photoshop file to open. I have since upgraded hardware and software. It now takes about 45 seconds to open.
Having a 64-bit operating system that takes advantage of Photoshop's processing power is also a huge plus.

Where in the CPU do insert a microSD adapter?
Well you don't actually insert it in the CPU, but in the Computer itself, the CPU is the core or the brain of the computer used to receive and give commands in which to tell the computer what to do and when to do it for instance when type a letter on the keyboard, the request is sent to the CPU and requests to put that key on the monitor and then the CPU will either grant or deny it from doing that. But as for your question your going to have look in the manual of your computer to see if you have the right slot for your adapter, the slots they go in range / vary from computer to computer depending on make, model and year. Older computers had big black slots for inserting adapters, then it became small white slots, and now they have a range of colors for in which a variety of adapters are used for a whole bunch of stuff. Sorry I know its not much help but its all i can do with as little information as I'm provided.
