What CPU is it? It's not 6GHz - it'll be 2 cores @ 3GHz. It does make a difference, since a 6GHz processor would absolutely tear through tasks like video encoding compared to a 3GHz CPU. As it stands, dual cores are suited for multi-tasking, so you can encode video, and still surf or do other tasks on the remaining core.

It's a decent mid-range machine. 6.5/10

Tom has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I'm guessing you got it from eBay?

3GHz X 2 Cores does not equal 6GHz.

Its the way eBay sellers in particular try grab your attention, and I presume they fool a hell of a lot of people...
