I was just wondering I have the newest Macbook and it says 2.4Ghz dual processors are the each running at 2.4 or is that a combined number?

No, it's a Core Duo. It only has one processor, but that processor has two cores. Essentially you are getting two processors in one die (yes, I know that's not technically correct).

It's one processor (Core 2 Duo) with 2 Cores running at maximum 2.4ghz.
