[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1194839, member: 193366"] There are a billion threads of this nature floating around - but to answer your specific question, no, I doubt you'll see any web browsing improvement as much of that performance is dependent on factors external to your computer. Regarding Applications - it will just depend. As more applications are written to capitalize on all 4 available cores (as well as utilize virtual cores) - then yes - you'll absolutely see a performance difference - but the only application you mentioned that I would expect to qualify is Photoshop. If you check the refurb store - you can save more than $350. In fact - the computer I'm typing on right now can be had for about $1200 less than what I paid for it. [/QUOTE]
