Hi all.  I realize this may be against the law, but I use ImageJ on a PC, pentium 4, 2.6 GHz, 1 gig o' ram.   I need to upgrade, too.  I've read that some programs run slower, some faster on dual processors, but that dual cores are different.  Anybody have experience running imageJ on dual something or other PCs?

I use a CoreDuo MacBook upgraded to 2GB of memory.   It stomps all  
over my dual 2GHz G5 Powermac at home.

If you've been using a G4, the current Core2Duo MacBooks (newer than  
what I have) will be a substantial upgrade.
