Huxley Forums - View Single Post - A Few Motherboard/Dual Core Processor Questions

Alright, I'm making my computer good for all the games that are coming out in the near future, and I heard that games will be taking advantage of dual core processing. Once I found out what dual core processing is (yes I'm that bad with computers) I was told you would need a motherboard capable of running these. Somy questions are:

*What is a good motherboard able of using dual core processors that aren't terribly expensive?
*What is a good dual core processor that is good, can work with the motherboard you said would be good, and won't be terribly expensive?
Thanks!

EDIT: I'm not sure if this has anything to do with motherboards or processors, but what is the thing where it says: (what mine says, it's under view system information)

Computer:
Intel(R)
Celeron(R) CPU 2.93 Ghz.

What is that, and is it something I should, can, or will need to upgrade?

EDIT (again): If that ^ is something I should, can, or will need to upgrade, what is the name of the thing I will need to buy to upgrade it, and what is a good one of those things?
