Just to keep the maths simple.

Say I had a 4 Core 2Ghz CPU.

Does it equate to 2 Ghz x 4 cores = 8Ghz speed.

Or does it mean that the speed is 2Ghz, however 4 cores so programs can run faster as one core can see to one program and the other another program?

without getting into CPU architecture and FSB etc etc.

Cheers
 
Ah thanks for clearing that up, always see adverts on ebay for "ultimate gaming pc!!!!111one" with like 4x4GHz for 16GHz Powarr!!!

So obviously they are talking out their backside!
