-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Last I heard, the dual-cores offer a 1.4x - 1.8x performance upgrade over a single processor. You don't get full 2x like you would with both processors, but they use a lot less power and generate less heat. I know we use dual socket dual-core for our VMWare servers, and there is a significant improvement over the single-core dual socket servers. The Dell Precision laptops are expensive, but the newer ones have dual-core and are pretty well fitted beyond that.
