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.
