Multitasking maniac seeks PC that won't slow down.
Sometimes you have to do many things at once—or at least you want to. Like downloading video while immersed in IM chat with a friend, or while editing photos, or while playing your favorite tunes, and all while a virus scan runs in the background. When you are multitasking, you don't want your system to freeze or slow you down. And with PCs based on the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, you won't have to. With up to 4MB of shared L2 cache, up to 1066 MHz Front Side Bus, combined with two independent processing cores in one package, you'll keep running with multitasking reckless abandon. Plus the Intel Core 2 Duo desktop processor is up to 40 percent faster while using more than 40 percent less energy.²
