This is such a rediculous statement suggesting you can't multitask with single core processors.
But I guess this is what we've come to expect from PC World.

Technically thats true though, dual core does let you upload email when downloading tunes... but then so do single core processors, not exactly cpu intensive tasks
(probably can't get them done for lying though
)
now if they said encoding video whist surfing the web downloading music and uploading email might be a better example.
