Guys Guys dont be confused in buying for processor.. If you are gamer at least you have core 2 duo with minimun of 2 Gigz.. now if your are planning for i7 with more that 4 core... then other cores will be useless.. it will eat only you money.. unless if you will do high end gaming + Photoshop + programming + another games at the same time then may be its a good option..
