QUAD Vs. DUAL

Aside from NOT recommending doing business with Tiger Direct

I have to agree with this. TigerDirect has a pretty mediocre online reputation both in Canada and in the U.S. I've read and heard numerous complaints (especially with honoring rebates, providing info to third parties for a long distance phone call service scam, etc.).

Reselleratings and other sites are not complimentary towards tigerdirect.

The type of cooling will not make the clock speeds differ.
Why can't you multi task with all 4 cores???? That is he purpose of multiple cores.

Yes oldjoe that is what I was saying how can you multi task if powerdvd requires the use of all 4 cores as this would defeat the purpose of getting it if wanted.

No software "requires" the use of multiple cores. Software has no control over CPU power distribution. A multi-core CPU, or even a HyperThreaded CPU, will distribute the demand as needed. That is the whole purpose of multi-cored CPU's.
