[quote="mr.miyagi":8d013]ah its ok, he asked for that ati card.

is 3ghz dual core decent then? i currently run a P4 3ghz, what difference does Dual Core actually do??[/quote:8d013]

Dual core really just makes things more responsive. if you have a dual core enabled game you will see improvements in framerate etc. When you're playing a game on windows your one core cpu is handling background tasks as you play the game as well as running the game for you, with multiple cores theres more cpu time to allocate towards games that support more than one cpu, plus run all the background tasks that exist when you're playing the game.

Its basically more number crunching power, you can run a virus scan while playing a game and the game will play much better than if you were using a single core cpu. Everything just feels snappier with dual and quad cores.
