Go to this site and just pick a game at random. It will tell you everything you need to know.

[Berethond]

It shoots holes in the moon when it's bored.

 

[Gaderael]

I have neither. I have an AMD Dual Core. Mwa ha. Yeah, semantics, blah blah blah.

 

[TheProfessor134]

My computer?

It hates life. And it especially hates me. Nuff said.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

Mine has internet.

Mine has "externet". I can read blogs written by any alien in the galaxy!

 

[Energylegzz]

I have a gray one...

 

[Joshimodo]

Quad. Fun.

 

[ToxinArrow]

4 GB
2.4 Ghz Quad core
GTX 260
750 GB HDD
Vista 32 bit

And I prefer quad cores, gaming will soon utilize more than 2 (look at OF2's requirements), and quads are better for photo/video editing.

 

[Nimbus]

Yay for ambiguous thread titles!

 

[Mcface]

I have quad, and often have to handicap it to duo just to play many games.
So I generally get half of my power when playing most games (anything older than a year really)

 

[THEMILKMAN]

This is all a bunch of garbily gook to me. But I know my computer's got lights on it so it must be good.

I don't even know what the hell a Duo and Quad are. Do they have something to do with 2 (Duo) and 4 (Quad) of something?

 

[Deadarm]

My desktop is a single... wheres my option?

 

[Alberio]

Built my PC from scratch earlier this year.

2.6 GHz Intel Pentium IV
1.5 GB RAM
250 GB HDD
Radeon X1650 AGP
Win XP Professional

And even managed to play Crysis with this one

Building a new computer this fall though. This one started out as a mid-priced machine and finally has reached the end of it's path after 6 years, 3 months 24 days (and counting) of service, with only upgrades being the graphics card once (after lighting fried the previous one), power supply (same lighting) and buying an extra 1GB of RAM (2 years ago).

SO the answer to the poll: neither. When this computer was bought, Duo processor technology was only becoming commercially available.
