Re: performance of dual core processors for .NET

My development workstation is a recently purchased Dell Dimension C521 (Dual
Core AMD Athlon, 4GB of memory) costing about $800. I'm using the Integrated
Video card, the low end processor, and a relativly cheap hard disk.

(I do plan to get a PCI-Express dual DVI video card here shortly though).

I run WinXP-64 as my operating system, and use Visual Studio 2005 pretty
much all day long. It's... great. I would recommend this configuration to
just about everyone.

The only issue has been drivers for WinXP64 - especially printer drivers.
For some reason, HP just doesn't seem to acknowledge that 64-bit exists for
their consumer printer product lines.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right group to ask this question. I thought
may be some of you might have answer to my question. Now that said, here
is
my question.

I am planning to purchase dual core processor desktop for .NET application
development. The processor is intel dual core processor with 4 GB RAM. I
need to know how the performance of the iis would be with this dual core
processor? Most of the time I will be using VS.NET to develop the
applications and sometimes debugging them if there are any errors. So
would
it be worth to buy dual core processor or buy single processor with 4 GB
RAM?
Which one will have better performance?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sridhar.
