[quote=“Dr.Stevil,post:68,topic:33794"”]

as for quad core vs dual or single… it all depends on what you do with it. If you run software that is very processor intensive and supports multi cores… the more the better

I kind of disagree, a quad core will always perform better than a single core, maybe not just with one application, but when you have a large number of processes running the gains are significantly visible.
