I've been looking over several computers recently. I've found a computer with a dual core 2.66 GHz processor and one with a quad core 2.66 GHz processor.

So what exactly is the difference? Is the quad core twice as fast? or are they both the same speed? and if so, what is the difference between them, other than the price?

Cheers everyone :)
