Hello 

Since I am about to get windows 7 when it comes out, I was thinking of getting the new I7 core. I need some information on whether if my computer can use it or not.

(If I put this in the wrong place plz move it)




Ok I have 2 questions

1. What is the difference between the I7 cores and the Intel Core 2s?

2. Is a quad core better than a duo?

2. Will my computer be able to use the I7 core?

3. if so will these be ok?
