Hi!

The time to upgrade my home PC has come. My main workflow revolves around LightRoom 2.1 and I intend to keep using LR in the future.

The dilemma is which processor to buy - dual core or quad core. My brother (who happens to be top grade sys admin) suggests that I buy dual core processor because of its low heat generation and low power consumption. He suggests that dual core is optimal balance. However he admits to have no experience with applications such as LR.

Thence the question. Is there any of you who was using dual core and upgraded to quad core and noticed significant LR performance improvements? In general, what do you suggest - dual core or quad core?

The motherboard that I am going to buy will support both dual and quad core so that I could theoretically upgrade in the future should I decided that dual core is not strong enough. But I'd rather optimize this criterion up front.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Boris
