single core vs dual core w/ vista

[korky122]

right now i have a single core cpu (check sig), i plan on getting vista home premium upgrade (price?), do you think it will run vista well.

eh, a dual core would be a huge benefit. I have a 3500 venice and before I get vista I will get a c2d. But it would be ok, you will definatley notice a performance decrease coming from xp.

Vista is supposed to take pretty good advantage of dual core technology. Wait until you want to upgrade to vista to get a new proc of course but yeah I'd recommend a dual core for it. There will be a lot of good performance benefits from Vista plus stuff like new games and video encoding, etc.
