Superdazz is correct, it is 2 2GHz processor cores(it looks like a normal processor and requires only one socket). However, a single-core processor is better for a computer used for gaming only. Dual-Core is focused on multi-tasking, and(at this time) it sacrifices performance. If the programs you having running in the background while running idle use more than 10% of your CPU, you need a dual-core processor. If you're trying to make a lean, mean, gaming machine, you want a single-core processor with 4GHz+.
Windows(and linux) can handle multiple cores(up to 4 with Windows, 16 with Windows x64) without any special configuration.
