For those computer experts on here...
I am looking to buy a new desktop computer from bestbuy very shortly. I chose Bestbuy because I have some gift cards to use.
I came up with 4 choices:
Acer Desktop Computer featuring AMD Phenom X4 Quad-Core 9500

HP Phoenix Desktop Computer featuring AMD Phenom Quad Core Processor (A6655F) - Refurb - Online Only

Acer Aspire Desktop Computer featuring Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

HP Pavilion Desktop Computer featuring AMD Phenom X4 9150e Quad-Core (M9417C) - Refurb - Online Only
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodde...3&catid=20217#
Which one is better? What's the differences between Dual-Core and Quad-Core? is AMD better than Intel now? Is it worth the extra money to get the Quad-Core? Also, anyone had a bad experience with refurbished desktop? Basically I am using my computer for movies, songs and surfing on internet.
Thanks for your time.
