Any benefit(s) upgrading from an Intel Duo Core processor to an Intel
Quad Core, say at the same frequency 2.4 to 2.4?

Yes, but not as much as increasing RAM from (say) 2GB to 3GB,
unless the application software you use is capable of using all 4 cores
properly. Most isn't.

The quad core is only faster if you are running more than 2 simultaneous
applications, OR you are running an advanced program such as Photoshop which
is designed to use up to four cores at once.

I think Intel claims a 5% improvement for the Quad Core over the Dual Core.
It's better for more calculation intensive operations like multi-media.
OTOH, some people have said it takes time before more applications and games
are written to take advantage of the add'l cores?
