Well you WILL see a speed increase, but the dual-core difference on software that isn't written for SMP... is like 5%. Not enough to justify the purchase, for sure.
Dual core basicly I think is for gamers and hardcore multi applications and from what I heard helps on cpu resources when useing dual core while burning. I havn't confirmed this but through the dozen or so google search this has been the basics for having dual core from my google search.
I think there is nothing wrong with this Processor i had a 3Ghz prescott they have HT technology which is almost like a dual core processing; as long as you keep it running cool it's a great CPU. I think your video card would be the most important upgrade Geforce 7800 GS AGP card is anice card.
