I don’t believe there are many multi thread applications. It would help with running multiple processors…

I’m pretty sure the processor is the last place that you need to worry about a bottle neck… So the difference noticed between a dual core and a quad core may be pretty minimal

dual 10K WD raptors in raid 1 should be the best thing that can really help out
