How much faster than what.... :) ok, without being a smart-arse anymore. :) Not sure how much faster a duo core version of the SAME single core CPU, on a SAME motherboard with SAME RAM, HD, bus,etc would be.... but, FWIW, from the mouth of some Intel Exec in a Virtualisation conf. in Sydney late last year, they say they achieved about 85% increased speed with a duo core, using the same amount of power as for a single core. If wanted to achieve double the speed, the power consumption would be SO much bigger that it wouldn't be worth it. I found that interesting.
