Good processor for a multitasking

Well, if you are gonna use the computer very much and you are ready to spend- go for the Intel i7 Quad Core! Well, the i series from Intel are also good. Core 2 Quad or Core 2 Duo is good. Do not go for AMD.

Processors are constantly changing and being updated now but I guess there's a good goldern rule and that is, you should always try and buy a dual core processor now. I would stick with the Intel range. A dual core processor is a processor that has two processors within the same housing unit. You obviously have Quad core processors and they are very powerful as well as fast. These have four processors within the same housing unit. These are very expensive though and it's not advisable to spend out on this type of processor unless it's absolutely neccesssary. I think the main processors that people go for now are dual core. I don't think anyone goes for a single processor anymore. I have dual core myself and it seems to handle all my multitasking activities! Andrew

since they already pointed out what process you should get for multi-tasking capabilities, i may just add to consider building a rig with high memory minimum of 4gig (try to use also 64bit os to maximize your multi-tasking experience..)

Hi! I would suggest INTEL for multi tasking.. AMD is good for gaming... If you have more budget, puck high specs, like core 2 quad or even core 2 duo. Have a nice day!!!

Andy Intel processor in the "i" series such as the i8 will work for multi tasking. They are actually designed to better handle for multi taskers. They are fast and very efficient. I use an i4 dual core Intel processor and it is supper fast and according to Intel it can mimic a 8 core processor with some applications.
