dual processor vs single processor

[toycept]

It became apparent today I need to think about a new workstation. It's been a while since I've purchased one,
so I need to brush up on what's best for running SW 2013. Is there a big difference between single processor and
dual? I currently have a 32 bit running XP... so will get a 64 bit running Win 7.....Thanks for suggestions on the single
vs dual.

Have a read of

It's a few months behind, but there is a wealth of information in there, especially if you are looking at building your own PC.

Do they even make single-processor machines any more? My phone has two.

Single processor (CPU) machines, yes.
But the CPU will more than likely have 4 or more cores.
