    Does anyone know which of these processors is faster?

    the dual core processor is a little slow i myself have 2.2ghz dual core and i find that slow enough so a single 1.4ghz would probably be nightmarish and a big bottleneck XD but out of the two the dual core seems the best although i'm not the best when it comes to fsb although i'm sure it doesn't make that big a difference

    Agreed. Almost twice as fast. But only in CPU intensive tasks.
