				shopping for a new laptop -- a question
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		OK, before you say it, I know I'm a dumbass.  I last owned a latop 18 months ago, or thereabouts.  The processor was about 3.  I'm looking at laptops now and everything is dual core -- 1.62, 1.74, 1.83.   
 
This is my question: is it two chips in the one laptop?  So, even though 1.83, for example, seems awefully slow, it is infact equivalent to a 3.66 chip?
