Ok, if you are still having trouble understanding what a quad core processor is then let me break it down for you (just keep in mind that this is on a very high level):

Q::What is a quad core processor?
A::A quad core processor is 4 processors on one chip.

Q::What is the purpose of a quad core processor?
A::If you are familiar with servers, you know that they often use more than one processor on the motherboard (or mainboard, system board, etc.). Many times they will use 2 and 4 processors. Compaq, among others, even makes a server with 8 processors on the motherboard. As you may know, these type of setups are very expensive. This is where quad core processors shine; they bring the same power of the high end servers to your desktop, and are much less expensive.

Q::What can a quad core processor do for me?
A::Let's pretend that you have a computer equiped with a quad core processor. Let's also pretend that you have 2 video cards each with dual monitor output, so we can drive 4 displays at the same time. Now we want to watch a movie in full HD on one monitor, surf the internet in another, do some serious photo editing with Adobe Photoshop in another monitor, and run a virtual machine of Windows Server 2003 hosting a website using IIS in another monitor. It sounds like a lot of stuff happening at one time, but with a quad core processor and enough RAM to keep up with it, this is possible.


If you are still confused, try to give some details as to exactly what it is you are still confused about.
