Well then, in that case I would wait for the 8 core Intel Micro Devices CPU (and for God's sake, change your battery) and upgrade your RAM to Nintendo RAM.

lol.

For today's apps, the dual core will definitely be a better bet, as in most cases a quad core sits with two cores idle 90% of the time (unless you spank it to benchmarks, in which case those fools over at Mad Onion or Hardforum might be the people to ask).
