You will not regret it. I bought a 2.4GHz Quadcore about 6 months ago 
and I'm still amazed how much I can load up Cubase without any hassle.

When I was testing out ideas on one of my last tracks I had 3 instances 
of Rob Papen's Blue, 2 instances of FM8, 5 instances of Guitar Rig and 
at least 6-7 other vsti's and vst effects. The cpumeter were showing 
around 30%.
