[Dream] Quad core or just Dual core?

[Doofus McFluoro]

Sporkles,

I am actualy quite surprised at you for this one.  You never came accross to
me as the type of guy who drives his maseratti till it runs out of petrol
and then buys a new one.  Cmon dude spec it out yourself.. do the research
and buy the components.  PC's only have about 6 major components so how hard
is that.

Alternatively give me the spec you want ... i will buy and build the PC and
ship it to you making a fat profit... and you will still hve saved some
cash.

xxx with love... Doof
