[quote="Airborne Butters":e3b77]So yeah I'm going to be building a computer soon, or my friend is actually. What kind of specs would you recommend for high end gaming? I want to be able to run alot of the new upcoming games, plus BF2,BF2142,HL2,Fear,etc... with smoothness. I'm ready to drop like 1,000 bucks on it, but I don't want to over spend. Oh and keep in mind a flashy case isn't that big a deal, and sound cards don't need to be super top line , seeing as I use headphones.

Also, seeing as I haven't really built a computer, what and how exactly does dual processors work?[/quote:e3b77]

a processor can only do 1 thing at any one time (process one thing at once) having two allows 2 things to be processed at the same time. Therefore drematically increasing performance.
