Friends say that upgrading from dual-core to tri-core does not make much difference. He has a point. Buying a phenom tri-core that has 2.3 ghz x 3 would be 6.9 total speed. In comparison to the dual core of 2.7 overclocked to 3.01 x 2 is about 6.0 processing speed. the difference between the 2 is not that significant but then, the price is. I bought my processor for around Php 3000 while the phenom that I want to buy is around twice the price. But a computer technician told me that having 3 cores is much better than 2 because it would be like 3 calculating at once. When I get to buy this chip, I will update you guys if there is really a signifant difference with the processing speed in my computer.
