Dual Processor vs Dual Core

[mackaveli]

I'm just wondering whats the difference between the two? because the PowerMac G5's use Dual Processor but then i see some PC computers use Dual Core? so whats the difference and whats better? thanks

The real quick and dirty explaination:

* Dual processor: two processors on the same motherboard.
* Dual core: two processor cores (two processors) on the same chip.

There's a little more to it then that, but you get the idea.
