It's not crucial, but when running Ai/Ps/Visual Studio/every browser and a virtual OSX machine to test Safari because Apple dicks don't release a Windows version, I just always figured it'd be safer to err on the having too much side.

I don't have any hard numbers of actual usage, and I respect your opinion on these issues so I'll take your word for it.

Although, with this computer I'd much rather have individual programs run more smoothly and efficiently than focus on running multiple programs simultaneously. If I'm not mistaken, that's where the processor comes in, correct?
