I'm permanently confuzzled by this, and can never remember when someone tells me, but take the case of the 4200+, is it;

2 cores, operating at 1100MHz each

or

2 cores, operating at 2200MHz each

I promise to pay attention this time if someone tells me

So is this a lot quicker than one FX-55 then? Games don't support HT, only single threading....so will this benefit gaming performance?

I'm confuzzled too!
