I'm looking to make my PC faster, so I'm going to make a start by upgrading my processor.
I currently have an Athlon XP 3000+ which runs at 2.11GHz. I was looking to get an Athlon 64 X2 of some description. (I know I need a new mobo, ram etc) If I was to get a 4000+ which also runs at 2.1GHz, does that mean it's effectively twice as fast due to the dual core?
EDIT: I should have searched! Just read through this, and it doesn't seem to be the case. I need the increase in speed for games.
