Quad Core or Core 2 Duo?

dont bother with these two cpus...
if you want everyday use and better gaming system go for core i5 or much better than that get the core i7 if you have the budget. todays built in gpus are catching up with 3rd party ones.... but then, dedicated videocards has alot to offer. but then again, everything depends on the budget u have.

quadcore brad kay pwd rman wala na kay video card kay naa nmn chip set built in nga gmay imong motherboard. ok ra kau ni pra sa photoshop add 1GB RAM payts na kau na!

i'll return the question back to you; what purpose are you going to use the computer for?

answer this and i'll provide my recommendation whether dual or quad core.

My PC is Core2Duo, runs DragonAge and SC2 on ultra. Of course my video card is HD4670. Quad Core nalang though unless you wont use it for extensive gaming and whatnot.

you dont need that kind of video card for photoshop. what you need is to have alot of ram on your box. even an onboard graphic device will do basta dak.a lang jd imo Ram

The new versions of Photoshop will use your dedicated video card. More RAM is a must, a fast multi-core CPU and a decent GPU is recommended too.

core2duo or dual core is ok naman basta imo ram is dako lng sab kaya na nya e handle ang mga regular software running at the same time,but if heavy jud imo gamitan like, pc recording, audio and video editing, photoshop applications, graphics gaming ug burning and writing videos then quadcore or i3 is a must, i3 is still core2duo but an upgraded version which means 4 times iya thread processing compared sa core2duo or dual core nga 2 thread lng...dili ra kaayo makita nmu ang differnce (i think) sa i3 ug core2duo so long as dako imo ram...

core i series is the new naming convention sa intel

core2duo = core i3
core2quad = core i5

if you want to have more ram knahanglan sad jud ka mag 64bit OS. bsta beyond 3.5Gb na imo overall RAM switch na dayn ug 64bit OS.

Dili lang ni sa OS magdepende bro.. magdepende pd ni xa if 64bit bah nga photoshop or any application ang iyang gamiton.. 32bit applications can no longer utilize 3.5+gb of ram..

yup depende sad... pero modern 64bit OS can also run 32bit Apps.. the problem with 64bit is f naa kay legacy hardware nga wlay 64bit drivers that is kng concern au ka sa imo old hardware. if not aw go all the way to 64bit.. if d mu.run ang app directly naa man sad compatibility mode.. always work sa laptop sa ako mama since it has 64bit W7 pre-installed. daghan2x nman sad karn compat sa 64bit. the market is gradually updating nman so less worries na... the same happend b4 sa migration sa 16bit to 32bit..
