Multiple processors
Modern computers have dual or even quad processors allowing more than 1 task to take place at the same time. They are regarded as more advanced.
Its well known that women,unlike men, are able to carry out more than 1 task at a time. Does this mean their brains are more advanced?

Hmm, casting aside the science behind this for a moment, I'm told my Tom-Tom contains a fairly powerful processor and it can get me from A to B effortlessly. It talks to me too, warns me of hazards ahead and probably a few more things I've not discovered yet.
Put my wife in the passenger seat and she can't even read the road map let alone get me to our destination and she's a university lecturer!

Female brains are definately biological superior according to this quote
There is a biological difference. According to MRIs performed, women have a larger corpus callossum (Halpern, 2000). The corpus collossum is the area of the brain that handles communication between the two hemispheres. It is responsible for synthesizing the information from the left and right side of the brain. In women, the corpus callosum is wider than that of men�s brains, which might enable the two sides to communicate better with each other. This is a theory as to why women multitask more efficiently.

I'm familiar with the published material by Halpern, but there is no conclusive proof that the findings are correct.
There is no evidence that the width of the corpus callosum is directly related to "multitasking", a concept that is difficult to prove incontrovertibly anyway.
There have been innumerable studies of the corpus callosum over many years and I'm afraid the Jury's still out. Besides, the quote you give is so simplistic as to virtually meaningless. Notice that even Halpern says "might".

But men are shown to be better at spacial logic and consideration of moving systems e.g. machinery. Are men more advanced. I was under the impression that he differences between men and women's brains were small and like al these studies only an average. Individual men and women can e the same or invert the trend quite easily as the average difference is so small. Am I right?
