There is nothing negative to say about the dual or quad core processors apart from the price of the quads at the moment. Prospective purchasers of quad core processors would do well to hold off as in a few months they will be up to 50% less in cost.
The positives are that the price on the duel cores have dropped and single cores up to 3.60Ghz are now within almost anyone's price range.
Users can now upgrade their old machines to something really fast at a fraction of the previous cost.
A word or two on Vista...
There really isn't a great deal of advantage in upgrading to Vista at this stage, in fact there are more disadvantages than advantages.
The bugs have not been addressed
Service Packs not released
And a lot of software has compatibility issues and cannot run on it.
It is more eye candy and developed for media enthusiasts and eats cache like there's no tomorrow.
I would suggest anyone that wants to use it, have a standard PC running XP and a Vista PC until various compatibility issues are ironed out.
I have used Vista and will be sticking with XP for quite some time.
