Uses more electricity, produces more heat, rarely gets utilized to its potential. Just curious, why? If there were better dual core options would you be inclined to get those instead? Lets say a dual core that was 125 TDP like quads these days and came stock 4.5 gig would you still rather get a quad? Its just weird to me seeing as how 99% of are not professionals in our computer field and do not need the raw power of more than 2 cores.
