Will you upgrade to a system with Dual Core?

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?

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.

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
