ive seen a few routers that offer dual band capabilities ie work on the 2.4ghz and 5ghz freq, they say so you can use one for normal internet use and the other one ie the 5ghz one to stream download content and so it doesnt conflict with any electrical wireless devices in the house but this is the part i dont get,

lets say you got a 10Mbps connection and your using one computer to email surf the web and another computer is downloading or streaming a video, your still going to use the same bandwith as you would a normal router wouldnt you because it would just split the difference or use as much as it needs what will the dual band one do different?

Why wouldn't you just buy a WRT and enable QoS? That's going to achieve the same ends.
