But if "1.73 GHz" appears twice in the computer properties dialog box on a display lap-top on the shelf of a retailers store, contrary to what the salesman is claiming that the lap-top has a duo-core processor, given "1.73 GHz" appears twice, (in the properties bit) the sticker on the bottom right side of where the keypad is, has Celeron on it and usually that particular make/model of lap-top (A Compaq Presario C710TU) has a Celeron M 530 processor with 533 MHz of bus speed.I don't see how this partciular model of lap-top can have a duo-core processor in it, regardless of "1.73 GHz" clearly appearing in the properties section twice.I'm still baffled as to how the Properties can show:1.73 GHz1.73 GHz(as in twice)
