Quad core is mainly better for post processing, which is why it works so well with crysis. But in some ways dual core is better and matched depending on wot applications your using. only rendering and encoding tasks exploit parallelism enough to overcome the 25% speed deficit between the dual and quad core CPUs. The rest i don't understand, its getting into computer mathematics/science. In fact my brains worn out from typing thsidfb fukignio bu;lllsidfht
So depending on whether your price conscience or not, it doesn't matter if your black or white i mean dual or quad
DON'T HYPE UP QUAD CORE (even tho I have it )
