I want to buy a 32 bit Intel processor .Should I get a single core , or a dual core? Please give arguments .?

Answer 1

Well well! Something I know about!

I'd say... whatever you want perhaps....

Think about it this way,

Single-Core: They are a single processor that can process memory and "jobs" that they are sent at a certain speed.

Duel-Core: These a duel processors, simply meaning, you have double the processors in one!

Pros for Single-Core: Price mainly, and if you are fine with just a regular computer. Good if you're just trying to upgrade a tad for a not so huge price.

Cons for Single-Core: Intel processors aren't exactly "top grade" so to speak, they go a bit slower than usual and end up lagging up your system.

Pros for Duel-Core: You'll have twice the speed! Along with adaquit RAM, this will make your computer the star of the show for new games and or software that is coming out on the market, such as Windows Vista.

Cons for Duel-Core: The prices are in the highs, I'd try getting them at newegg.com, that's where I got mine. Mainly, if you don't want a computer that's too fast to handle... Heat is sometimes a factor if you don't have good enough cooling, it could make your computer overheat if you make it work too hard, but not likely.

Go for what you need, if you need simple, go with Single, if you want something a bit more high tech, go for duel. Either way, they're both pretty nice!

Answer 2

I would personally recommend a Dual Core, as if you are doing a virus scan, burning a cd, or another long task, your computer does not slow down, as one of the two cores handles, for example, the virus scanner, whilst the other occupies the other thing you are attempting to do, for example, playing a game. It also means that a computer on a single core, 2.0GHz will run half the speed as one on a dual core, 2.0GHz computer. I have a dual core laptop, and have had both a single core and dual core laptop, and although the single core laptop slows down after owning it for 2 yrs, a dual core seems to keep up the same speeds for a long time as there are two cores to rely on, not just the one.

So, in my opinion, you should get a dual core.

Answer 3

All 64bit capable processors can run 32bit programs. It ALL depends on the OS that you will be using. The popular Win XP is only 32bit.

Intel is no longer making 32bit processors for desktops, only for laptops.

If you run many multithreaded apps or if you just have a fat wallet, then get a dual core. If you are just a casual user or working on a tight budget, just get a fast single core but with at least 1Gb of system RAM.

Answer 4

You should get a dual core because it processes twice than single core. Single core is old, and companies do make them anymore.

Answer 5

it all depends on what you use your pc to do. if it's jusy for school applications, then i'd suggest the single core cause you really won't ned the extra power, but if you burn alot or play games, then pop for the dou (but if you're willing to wait a few months, then you could get a cell procesor or the quad-core processor).

Answer 6

I would suggest that you should wait for the quad core or even the eight cores. I woundn't suggest that you buy a new CPU yet. Wait for the the newer stuff. The single core CPU will become outdated after a while.
