Is a dual-core processor worthwhile having on a home computer?

I read somewhere that when using Wndows XP Home, the second core doesn't get used much. Is it worth the additional expense?

Where can I find old Apple laptops, and what should I look for?

Yea, I know NOTHING about Apple products.

What's an Apple laptop that I could get for around, say, $50? I don't know anything about their laptops, but I want one of theirs from the 90s

What all could I do with it and such?

Yea, so I don't know what the lifespan of the older, 90s Apple laptops are. Or what operating system it runs on (or could run on.-- linux, possibly?) Or if you could type papers on it. or what programs you could buy and/or install on it. yea.

basically, a cheap older apple laptop (from the 90s) that you can type papers on, and simply get a feel for the the older apple OS, and shall eventually be dissected by the ends of my curious fingertips.

(oh, and also, do the laptops usually have a port to plug a printer in at?)

How do i stop laptop lag/freezing?

Well i have a kinda old laptop but not to old and it lags when i play games and use the laptop. It sometimes freezes for a long time then keeps going. Its very slow. I have defragmented it already (4hours) and i did many other things. What do you think i should do to stop this?! BTW i only have 256MB of RAM. You think putting a memory card (256MB) will help?

Will a graphics card with its own memory take system memory if needed?

I have an intergrated ATI Radeon XPress 200. If I put a cheap 64MB graphics card in my computer so I can use S-Video, will it take memory from the system if needed for games.

In other words, would the cheap 64MB card be better than my intergrated graphics?

Thanks!

Laptop Processor Question?

I'm going to get a laptop but I can't decide if I should get the Intel Core Duo Processor T2050 (2MB Cache, 1.60GHz. 533MHz FSB) or the T2400 (2MB Cache, 1.83 GHz, 667MHz FSB) at a slightly higher cost? I have no clue about processors and what the GHz and MHz are for? Is it really a case of more is better or just unnecessary?
