I think that is an no really true. Despite the hype around quad core, almost nothing is written to use it. Even Adobe whose Photoshop and Premier are two of the most common computer intensive program will not support quad core until CS5. Since CS was just introduced in the last month, that is several years away.
Ironically for the people buying into quads, if you check at Tom's hardware, their testing shows that programs not specifically written for quad core actually run slower than on Core 2 Duo. And that would be just about everything. If you can upgrade to 64bit, increase the RAM, and or change it out for faster, you'll be fine. In a couple of years you may want a new bigger video card or put in a second and use Crossfire but otherwise you'll be fine. The processors today are more than adequate. Thats why you see computers with 3.3 performance numbers because they have a POS Intel video or the card while the processor may be 5.5.
