Without it, in my configuration, Windows XP Pro on my iMac is, in fact, faster than it is on my Dell Inspiron quad core box with all the antivirus stuff.
With all the free antivirus, I don't know why you would not install it. AVG is my favorite along with ad-aware as spyware protection.

Also, quadcores only run as fast as the speed of each core. Most programs cannot take advantage of the quadcore. VMware does take advantage.
