I've been thinking, since dual-core is more than sufficient for internet, email, word processing, is that all there will be needed from now on, with netbooks and the like? Of course it will change, but it seems like, at least for now and a while, the computers will only have dual-core because that's all they need. Sure, in a few years, when quad-cores are cheap, they could use those instead, but I would still rather have an even cheaper netbook with a dual-core. Thoughts? Just something I was thinking yesterday.
And not just the CPU, I guess, either. Now 4GB of RAM with win7 is the norm, and now that win 8 is supposedly even lighter, it would need less RAM, so the requirements are even going down.
