Dave, not all applications can take advantage of the second third or even 4th core in todays CPU's. When looking at minimum requirements it can be wise to consider the overall speed of each core as the max CPU speed you may utilize.
In general games are notoriously bad at utilizing second + cores. Geek speak aside, unless someone from FS1 tells you that the program will use a second core/CPU then assume it wont and meet the requirements by making sure that any dual core+ is at the required speeds. After that make sure that your new system has an NVidia video chipset in it. Not sure if the Nvidia 8800 comes in a laptop but I would go for that if I could.
