Not exactly; the i5 can shut down unused cores and boost others untill it reaches its TDP again. It will not overclock all cores at once.

Very nice feature though, and indeed considering the price you really should go for quads now.


*4GB RAM is fine, never ran out yet. Maybe if you run 2 demanding games at once, but I wouldn't advise that if you're actually planning on playing either one.
