I think you should forget the dual core, because it's very powerful and very expensive  <_<
I have an athlon 64, it run very well, I can overclock them, that cost ~100$ today!

To use your dual core processor properly, like everyone else is saying, you will need more money.

As well as the (expensive) dual core chip, you will need a semi-decent mobo, some decent RAM.

Then you have the HDD, DVD drives, case, PSU, gfx card etc

Simply get more money, or revise your specification of dual core.

There is simply no point in spending on a dual core then the rest of your components not being up to scratch to actually use it!

Agreed. Quality computer parts don't come cheap (like Dual processors)

I think we should know what you have and then go from there.
