It really depends on how you use it. If you are just running Microsoft Office, it makes little difference in performance. I edit video and graphics for a living and having a Multicore processor is vital. It really speeds up the whole process. For instance on my old computer it took about 15 minutes for a 1 gigabyte Photoshop file to open. I have since upgraded hardware and software. It now takes about 45 seconds to open.
Having a 64-bit operating system that takes advantage of Photoshop's processing power is also a huge plus.
