    Pentium or Core i3?

    This has been asked many times, but let me ask this one more time: is hyper-threading worth it? Obviously I won't ask that question, if I have much more budgets. Should I go for Core i3 or just stick to the Pentium (which essentially Core i3 with no HT)? Thanks a lot. Update(?) I'm going to...

    Is a dual-core 1.0 GHz equal to single-core 2.0 GHz (read more)?
