I'm thinking of buying a new computer but I'm really confused at some of the system requirements for newer games specificaly the CPU speeds. They ask for things like 2.8 GHz on a single core processor. Now does any one know where I can find the speeds for the multi core processors and how parrelel the software allows the multi processors to be used. Cause I know that if you have a 2.2 Duo core and its fully parellel programed or something like that its in effect 4.4 GHz. Look if some one reading this knows about this stuff please just explain it for me a lay man and maybe talk about some cool games and how much multi threading they use in the software.
Dual-core processors are your best bet right now. A lot of games within these couple of years take advantage of dual-core processing power. Quad-core is only supported on a few (but growing) amount of games at the moment. If you want to be future-proof, go quad-core, otherwise, go dual-core because you'll get the most bang for your buck. (Note that quad-core processors, at the moment, are heavily used for multimedia editing software.)
Also be sure to note that CPU speeds aren't everything, your graphics card will play a major factor into it, too. At the moment, I recommend nVidia's 8 series, but if you have extra cash to burn you could go with nVidia's 9 series. If you're fairly low on cash, go with ATI as an alternative. Not too knowledgeable with ATI's lineup, though, so unfortunately I can't recommend a particular series from them.
Edit: Wait a minute, isn't this on the wrong section of the forum? Lol.
Also keep in mind that if you play some older games like NWN, they may not support dual core processing. However, most of these games can be modified to play on one core in the .ini file (I think, not really a computer guru).

graphics cards are very important! where you been KMT?
I dont play computer games I'm getting a 32 in flat screen with HD hdmi.
The works plus I gpt the xbox 360!!!
I know they are, you must have misread my post. Graphics cards are less confusing for me to understand, or atleast nobodies telling me something I don't know. Processors are alot more complicated thats why I wanted processor specific advice, I never said anything that would warent a where have I been comment.
