Intel has come up with Core 2 Quad processor for notebook and desktop PCs. Its designed to handle massive compute workloads enabled by powerful multi-core technology. Optimized for the longest possible battery life without compromise to performance, Intel Core 2 Quad processors for notebooks allow you to stay unwired longer while running the most compute-intensive applications.
Very soon your Intel Core 2 Duo processor will be fit for the museum

I've seen quads in laptops, very expensive.
Just because the dual core might not be as fast as the quad core doesn't mean it's useless.
Quoted for you dont know jack mate lol
Only difference between a quad and a dual is that it has two more cores!
Say you have a quad and a dual both running at 3ghz with 4mb of l2 cache whilst benchmarking on a non multi threaded application then the scores will be near identical
Anyway most apps are not multi threaded and those that are generally just use two cores anyway. And windows (ecspecially XP) most certainly was never designed to run on more than one core!
Core 2 Duo are generally faster due to there faster native clock speeds
It may be useless in the longrun just like Pentium 4Just because the dual core might not be as fast as the quad core doesn't mean it's useless.

I'm sorry my laptop's primary computational mechanism (of mobile variety) is useless.

Yeah, I got a friend who bought a Quad and he kind of regretted that. Could have got more power for the same price if he went with a Core 2 Duo. So basically the point I'm trying to make is, what he said.
