Check out peoples specs here and see how their performance stands up.

Lookin' like Quad Cores are pretty much the cream. Or hold out for an Octo Core.

yep, quad.

I have a dual 2.45ghz which scores 44%
the quad version of the 2.45ghz scores 22%

an equivalent octo would score 11%

Quad all the way

I own one, live works pretty well on it.
