Ok.Can I actually ask why would anyone buy a dual core system?

Would I be able to render pictures faster in Bryce AND browse the net,send emails,chat on MSN,download largish files and eat my dinner all at the same time?

Because I can 'just' about do a render and one other thing now on my AMD64 system..but all too frequently I find that my system freezes and hangs when the render becomes rather higher in polygons and I can no longer surf the web..

See I'm thinking of upgrading next year(when I'm due a largish lump sum) and I don't have a zinglebarb to build me a system..So I want to know if those in the 3D graphics world are right in wanting a dual core system?

What should the advert really be telling me?
