Will you upgrade to a system with Dual Core CPU?

@ 2006/01/19
AMD and Intel have no a nice product line-up of new Dual Core CPU's available in most stores.

Are you going for an upgrade this year?
Comment from GIBSON @ 2006/01/23
i might upgrade to an X2 this year, it'll depend on how the pricing evolves i think
Comment from Rutar @ 2006/01/19
I already did

Intel needs to release a decent dualcore chip based on mobile architecture to be worth considering
Comment from wutske @ 2006/01/19
I hope to have some money during the spring break to upgrade to an X2, otherwise I'll just stay with single core

Intel or AMD upgrade to Dual Core is another question?

Only one's i found with integrated graphics also had all kinds of other (unnessary) integrated stuff resulting in a higher price than no integrated graphics + cheapo agp-card.

less = more

it even won't have an attached screen once it's running, or keyboard, or mouse

Not this year. I need a laptop soon so I don't have funds for a new cpu. I'll maybe buy one of those Centrino Duo laptops so that will be dual core then.
