You wrote "Actually, tell me again why we even want dual core in a notebook??" Because Windows sucks. Seriously. Windows has a nasty habit of not yielding to any other process of the same priority if one process is trying to take 100% of the CPU. How often does this happen? All the time. Ever see a mouse pause a second or two? Ever have an app freeze up for a tiny bit and then resume just fine? Those little annoying pauses would almost all be fixed with a dual core processor. To me at least, that's the real point of dual core in a notebook. It's not worth a great deal (at least to me), but if I could get it for less than $100 extra, I'd do it. Mike
