e.g

User2 runs a video conversion on a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo; it takes 40 minutes, and he can do everything else he wants to do because Core1 is running at 99% and the other one is free to run whatever he wants.
Not really :/
A Core 2 Duo beat a single core 3.4GHz CPU at everything...
EG,
Here I chose the E6400 2.13GHz and a Pentium 4 3.8GHz CPU, And the Core 2 Duo beats everything in the list.
If I was you, Id defiantly get a Core 2 Duo, you cant go wrong.
