don't get me wrong i love my single core as well, overclocked nicely.. but i wish i could do more, like run programs in the background while playing a game and not worry about lagging (well i dunno, i think my 2nd gig of ram fixed that). i dunno, i'm just a person of competition, i like to try to be on top.. but it never works.. haha, and i'm very active with my computer and do alot of things at once, so that could be why
