Some E Waste FYI

I'm running an AMD FX 9590 (8 cores) and the office computer (the one I am on now) is an all scrap build. Q9550, 8GB DDR3, Q41 Intel board, Nvidia 560Ti, HP 545W workstation power supply shoehorned in (they are in my opinion the best most stable power supplies you can get in your scrap stream). I ran technical preview in dual boot on this particular machine...it's snappy, thanks in no small part to the gigantic 500GB SSD (250GBx2 Array). I think the last generation of Core2duos will be alright at the onset, when loaded up with 8GB and the fastest hard drive you can get (Most cases an SSD).

Anyways, the point is the dual cores look to be going dodo soon, plan for it.
