if you have two cores running at, say, 2.5 GHz (2x2.5=5?), or one core at 3 GHz... wich one is better - faster - meaner - more capable?
(simplified)
and i guess that, being in 2010, all games use multiple cores, at least two...
you buy a new rig? go for quad core or octacore... 6 or 8 Gigs of Ram, a recent 64 Bit OS, one 128GB SDD, and a Terabyte HDD, 1024 MB Video memory, or 2048 if you can.
but dont forget a 1200Watt PSU, or bigger! and enough fans to cool the thing down!
...and NO, you are NOT advised to show the price tag to your wife...
