im building a computer and am puting a dual quad core intel processor in it.. my friend is telling me that with dual core there are some things u cant do that u can do with a single core processor.. is this true? and if so what type of things
 
A dual quad? It's either one or the other I think...

Some older programs don't run well with dual or quad cores, so you have to have Windows turn off your other CPUs for that program. I can't think of anything else.
 
Just compatibility issues with older programs, if you don't run any older programs, don't worry about it.
 
Wait a minute, are we talking about a dual socket Xeon platform here or dual core vs quad core?
 
I think theres a mix up. I think its dual vs quad core since in the original question processors weren't pluralized (only one instead of dual chips).
 
he has 2 quad processors guys. You'll be find. What are you doing that you need that much horsepower though.

im not so sure i think hes jus getting mixed up on the wording and ment to say core2quad but forgot the core*
