Quad core vs dual core

What is the difference between the 2? If I want to download games from the Apple Store and it requires Intel dual core and I have a Intel quad core will it work?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

For now any OS X game should run fine on that machine, in the future as newer games/updates/upgrades come out requiring stronger hardware you won't be as able to as you can't upgrade the video card that 3D games depend upon.



I want to download Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare


If it compatible with your video card and operating system, I see no problem with it working just fine in the current version with your machine.
