Get the Dual Core.  Buying a Celeron these days is just.... stupid.

Bullshit.  The Dual will format it significantly faster, leaving more 
time to format additional drives.

Also, it's "you're", you ignorant grade-school grammar dropout.

My advise is don't ever consider single core.

Like "Dan C" said (quote): Get the Dual Core. Buying a Celeron these days is 
just... stupid.

Generally I'd recommend  "avoiding"  the Celeron but in your case,
perhaps it depends on the price difference.  I'll guess that the
difference is not great so therefore go for the non-Celeron.   Likely
your friend will be happier down the road.

Ummmm, no.  He was replying to *me*, and the hijacking troll he mentions 
is in reference to *you*.

Bugger off, troll boy.  You're not even good at that.  LOL

I didn't follow the cross posting stuff.

I bought a Outlet Dell 15 (1545) the other day and went with a Intel
Core 2 Duo T6400 (not Dual Core).  I have not heard too many positive
things about the Dual Core.

I paid $485 for a scratch and dent although the refurbed was about $30-
$45 more.  I actually bought this for a friend so I have not seen it
but he says he did not see any scratches or dents of any type.

Since when is a Core 2 Duo not a Dual Core processor?
Core 2 is a change of process from Core and Duo means 2.
