i bet 50% of Dual core owners dont even use its capabilities let alone quad core.

Note - AMDs quad core will be the one to watch for as it will be a true quad core rather than 2 dual core cpus like Intels Quad.

Will also have bigger L2 cache

Yup I agree (wow) Now you can spend £150 and you will get a base system that will do what 50%+ of people out there need it to do.

Not long ago it used to be £500 got you a basic computer but £1000 for something that could really do anything.

You dont always need the quickest CPU/DUal core cpu etc
