Sorry for the newbie question-
I need some new PCs that will simply be running XP Pro. Mainly admin type stuff - Excel, web-browsing, email and a little Photoshop. I know probably any new machine I get will be overkill for these applications, but I'm wondering with XP Pro if Core 2 Quad Processors such as the Q9400 are a total waste as XP won't take advantage of all four processors. Should I instead opt for a higher clocked Core 2 Duo such as Core 3.33 GHz 2 Duo Processor E8500 or E8600 or simply the Pentium Dual?
Thanks in advance-
Craig
