Intel dual core - quad core - real computing world difference ?

If purchasing a new system and you had the choice, would you go with the
Intel quad core q6600 ... or stick to the Intel dual core e6850 processor?

XP Pro OS and most used Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Lightroom,
Producer (makes slide shows), Adobe Acrobat v5 Pro, MS Office 2003,
Lightscribe labeling software.

Is the new quad core processor software specific? Must the software be
written to take advantage of the quad processor? If so, then I'd think there
would be no advantage for me, since much of my software is older.

Your help and advice is deeply appreciated.

Mary
