There isn't a lot (or any) software out there that really takes advantage of what dual-core can provide. I don't know if you run XP or Vista, but I doubt either of them really can provide a CPU workout...for that matter, I don't believe XP uses RAM beyond 500MB.
My wife and daughter both have 2.66 GHz Pentium 4 machines with XP, and they cruise just fine. My 1.6G box works as well, but I have to be a bit more efficient with resources.
