It saves energy and like hundreds of dollars. |
I'll use it to play Maplestory.

Like I just said. Maplestory doesn't need 4 cores >_>. It can work perfectly fine even doing like 50 zakum runs together with just 2 cores.

| And if your very broke, you could risk your single core computer, over clock it, and hopefully it doesn't blow up. I can play Half-Life 2 on a AMD 1.6GHz (yes, that crappy), and it works fine. Only slightly longer load times. The video card was crap too. |

there is such a thing as too much power. It all depends on what your using your computer for. If your not using the full capability of your hardware then its just a waste of money for nothing. Simiple things like typing up documents, basic internet surfing, or even just minimal entertainment like listening to music.....seriously a quad core will not out perform a dual core here because it will not be using its full capacity as I already said and neither will the dual core depending on what one you get. Computers=many variables and even exceptions

there is such thing as price to performance ratio however, where quad core shits on its dual core counterparts. |

3 core makes software problems better keep multipling by 2
so ...
1 core = slow
2 core = twice as fast
4 core = twice times better then 2 core
more cores need more energy

maybe for hacking you might need 2 cores... but yeah seriously, buying a 5000 dollar computer just to play maplestory is a big ole waste.

| Currently I'd stick to the latest model of core(2)duo because the first model of quad sucks (2.4 GHz), so... you do the math |

but more cores will give better performance for multi tasking
so..
2 cores with 1Ghz each would be better then 1 core with 2 Ghz
