So i want to know what i just brought... and what it actualy does

Currently i have a 2500 Barton-M At 2.5Ghz

I just ordered a X2 4800+ In a pc.. the thing is i know its Dual core and i know its got HyperTransport.... but i dont realy know what that means

Does a dual core 4800+ Meen i have 2.4Ghz CPU... or 4.8Ghz because its dule core? and what does HT do......

Thanks everyone

The 4800 is just the model number and not the actual speed in MHz. The actual processor runs at 2.4Ghz on each core. HyperTransport is a new technology that increases the bandwith between the CPU, RAM and motherboard. Hope this answers your questions.

The long and short of it is that you will have a bloody quick PC. It has 2x2.4ghz cores which don't work in the same way as 1x4.8ghz core, but in multithreaded apps it will be similar in performance to a single 4.8ghz core... A single 2.4ghz coreis also very quick for most apps,so you'll be fine there too.
HT is just a very clever technology that improves the memory throughput of the A64 family. It's a quick PC, and I bet it cost a buck too...
