I have two pentium 4s in my computer. So, is there a way that i can get them both to work like a dual core processor? (I half don't know what i'm talking about)

So you have a dual processor setup from they way you so shortly described it. Basically you have the power of a dual core processor, just with two separate processors. Most applications will not use both processors unless they are written to use them. Windows should divide most processes between the two processors so they have a balanced load. I don't know much else about them. I do know that both processors should be on all the time, unless there's a way to disable one in Windows or the BIOS. I don't have a dual processor and never have so my suggestion is to google some keywords for what you want to do to see what comes up.

Basic Input Output System. It is firmware built into your motherboard that runs when you first turn your computer on. All the text you see when you first boot up listing hardware and such, thats your bios running POST (power on self test).
