[QUOTE="gilesjuk, post: 382565, member: 29394"] The Core 2 Duo is a fabulous processor. Remember it was Apple who put out many myths about the PPC vs Intel performance, as soon as they moved to Intel Apple were saying how much faster Intel are. Having two cores on one chip has its advantages and disadvantages, firstly the cores can swap information without going to main memory. But the memory access can be slower overall. However the memory buses are faster these days. There's not many applications around that don't have Intel versions, so it's a good time to switch over. [/QUOTE]
