Do not tell me it is the Dual Core because 2.66 x 2 is greater than just 3 Ghz. I know it does not work that way. I also want to know about some of the problems concerning the Dual Cores i've heard.

Dual core was designed only for the multitasking people. But the issues with dual core are that if you don't have dual channel memory I wouldn't even bother with it. The other CPU speed is plenty fast for just Internet use.

A Dual Core will give more scope for upgrading, so thats a good choice ; the only caveat here would be, how often do you upgrade? If you plan on using this next PC for less than 2 years, it may be better to buy a Cheaper Single Core 3.x Ghz, and then getting what will then be either a quad core, or whatever they will call an 8 core ) [Octet ??]. Anyways, a good buy in both cases if you can get a centrino ... Dual cores are usually Centrino technology I think...

it is the dual core because 2.66 x 2 is greater then just 3
though the application has to properly use both the cores to gain an advantage
windows will manage the threading for you (decide which core to use for which application) so you should always get better performance
plus, some applications are written to take advantage of dual cores/dual processors and will use both of them itself to boost performance
about the problems, i have never heard any, so i cant help you there
