Dual processor

Computer that has two separate processors that work together. Dual processors are commonly used for intensive processing demands and improves the computer's overall processing efficiency. It is important to note that not all operating systems and software programs support dual processors. Often this is true with older operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 98; however, newer operating systems such as Microsoft Windows XP do support dual processors.
