Do I need a dual core? I'm thinking of upgrading one of my HTPCs with a new CPU, Motherboard and memory and I'm trying to do this as cheap as possible. This particular system will only be used for Netflix-Instant, MKV files and surfing the web. I already have a PS3 for Blu-Ray and games.
Here is the list of CPUs i'm considering (single and dual) Starting at $19.99
