I was going to get a dual core processor on my new laptop, but right now I can get a quad core for only about $100 difference. The dual core I was going to get is this one:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9600 (2.8GHz/1066Mhz FSB/6MB cache) (along with 6g RAM
I can get this quad core for $100 more:
Intel® Core™ i7-820QM Processor (1.73GHz, 8MB Cache, Turbo Boost) (also with 6g RAM)
Is it a good idea to invest the extra $100 in the quad core, or is this something I will never need? I use my computer for some video and graphics editing, plus music-writing software (Finale) and other office software, along with the usual internet/e-mail.
