Hi all...

im in the process of upgrading my pc and have two options for a CPU

Either a dual or quad core...

with my budget i can afford a expensive dual core (3ghz?) or a cheap quad core (2.16?)

What would be a better buy?

I intend to multi task media (music/video) run karaoke, use cuebase (or other music studio software), and play computer games...

Cheers

You may benefit from a quad core, check out the Q6600, it is 2.4GHz stock and has come down in price recently.
 
If your going intel and have the funds theres no reason to not go quad. You will be set for the next few years with any quadcore really.
