I'm finally putting together a new system, and I think I've got just about everything figured out except for the 'durn processor.
I don't really keep up with what programs currently utilize what technologies, and I really don't have much idea where things are going down the road. I mainly run Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom, along with a few other photo programs and things like Office, Acrobat, etc... In a nutshell, I multi-task like crazy and hate being bogged down.
So, if you only upgraded machines every few years, would you suggest a Quad-Core processor or a Dual-Core processor?
