Dual CPU?

[Peter Korsten]

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the answers. I figured that dual four-core would probably 
be overkill, but I'd like to know what you guys had to say, since you 
tend to be on top of this sort of thing.

The reason why I asked is because my laptop at work is a Core Duo (not 
Core 2) mobile, running at 1.66 GHz and even with 2 GB of memory, it 
feels not very fast. Obviously, there's the mobile CPU, the lousy video 
and the 2.5" S-ATA disc.

As a comparison, my home machine has a 2.2 GHz Athlon 64, with 2.5 GB of 
memory and a Seagate Barracuda S-ATA disc. Video is an Nvidia 8800 GTS 
(320 MB). Not really suited to play GTA 4 (my main reason to upgrade) or 
any recent game for that matter.

So... now I'm waiting for Windows 7 to hit the shelves, and then I'll 
get a new system.
