Single core vs. Dual core

[putalittlemore]

if you are not into graphics intensive aps (like games or vid editing) then a single core will already work for you. just make sure you have sufficient memory (512MB or 1GB) and a decent vid card.

but current games are not designed to exploit the power of these dual core procs. not yet, but maybe in the years to come, it will. AFAIK, if your into multitasking, then these procs are for you.. if not, you're fine with single procs, but then if you're buying a new PC, better get these dual procs for future hardware and software compatibilities.
