Surely a Core 2 Duo could do all that and more
My AMD dual core does that and more just fine. If you want more cores just check this bad mama jama out.....
Intel BX80613i7980X Core i7 980X Extreme Edition Processor - 3.33GHz, LGA 1366, 6.4GT/s QPI, 12MB L3 Cache, Six Core, HyperThreading, Gulftown, Retail CPU w/ Fan at TigerDirect.com
This is another example of Dell's advertisements to lead people into buying their products. Even my CPU can do that and more...
I say we put the Dell dude & the Flying Spaghetti monster in a dome and let them duke it out.
Dual Core is fine until you start doing sophisticated video editing with seriously large files, complex 3D transitions and numerous overlays. That's when a quad comes into its own but often you need to tweak the system to get all 4 cores running together and sharing the load!
