Stop posting, no one cares.
Ok, real comment:
Dual cores should be mandatory these days, even for netbooks if they can manage it. Most software at least expects there to be two cores to work with. A lot of it is still geared towards single cores but it still hurts multi-tasking if you don't have a dual these days.
