First, probably. Second, it's not like you can take the two 1.87GHz cores and add them up to be 3.74GHz, that's fuzzy math and processors do not work like that. You have two processors, running at 1.87GHz. Unless the application is multithreaded then it will be running on one of the two cores only. Windows XP is capable of doing this, if it needs to. Windows will assign a processes to the different cores. One core will be dedicated to the heaviest process running and one core will be relegated to running the background tasks. Only if an application is multithreaded will it be able to run on both cores. There are not many applications that are, save for Windows itself. These applications will not be seen until the end of this year or even as late as the middle of next year. In the end I think it is up to the task of running whatever program it is.

Yes. If it is a Dual Core, it means it's 2 proccesors. So you would have 3.74 GHz.
