Is a Pentium Dual Core Processor equivalent or better then a Pentium 4 Processor?
Thanks!
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm sold! I will definitely be getting a dual core processor! Thanks!! All you had to say was 4 times faster!
One thing you need to consider is are the programs and operating system you use capable of supporting the dual core processor. If they are then it is definitely faster but if not then you will probably not see any improvement. BUT more and more programs are coming out with multiple core support.
I want to add some words:
- Core 2 Duo is not Dual Core
- Dual Core is better than Pentium 4
- Core 2 Duo is better than Dual Core
- Core 2 Quad is better than Core 2 Duo (of course very expensive)
- For gaming, Pentium 4 is adequate but a bit slow
- For gaming, Core 2 Duo is awesome
- For gaming, you also need to consider the graphics card and memory
- Most programs still do not support multiple cores
- But most games already support multiple cores
