    Your computer will run alot smoother from a dual to quad core, i suggest the i5 intel processor or a 6 core AMD processor instead of a quad core. Nothing inside your computer will be gone, that is inside your hardrive

    You fail at explaining. You did not explain it very well. All you said it was is “its the main brain of the computer.

    ( my computer has a AMD Phenom quad core 2.3 GHz )
