I read that the software programme requires a pc with a dual core. What does that mean?

The software (which I need to emphasize isn't professional and the controller should be used with software like Ableton Live and FL Studio) required a pc with a dual core processor. Chances are your cpu is dual core. Single core desktop cpu's haven't been used in mainstream in a long time. You are likely using a quad core cpu.

You can use either as they both support multiple CPU's (up to 512 on 64 bit). I would install whichever version you feel would most suit your needs.

Yes it will run any app that you can install on a regular PC (within reason), just keep in mind that it is not a desktop CPU / GPU therefore you would need to keep multi-taking and CPU intensive apps to minimum.

Dear Aron E., This Tablet-PC computer is meant to be used mostly by casual users and not power users. I am not sure what type of jobs will you require this computer to perform, but in terms of running 2 virtual machines comfortably, I believe this may not be a computer for you. The following is a summary of the hardware specs of this computer: CPU Type: 4th generation Intel Core i3-4020Y Processor @ 1.5GHz RAM: 4GB, but upgradable to 8GB (1 DIMM) The following is the system requirements for VMWare Workstation 10: -64-bit x86 Intel Core Solo Processor or equivalent, AMD Athlon 64 FX Dual Core Processor or equivalent -1.3GHz or faster core speed -2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM recommended ** Host operating systems* (32-bit & 64-bit): ** -Windows 8 -Windows 7 -Windows Vista -Windows XP SP3 -Windows Server 2012 -Windows Server 2008 -Windows Server 2003 Standard -Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 -Ubuntu 8.04 and above -Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and above -CentOS 5.0 and above -Oracle Linux 5.0 and above -openSUSE 10.2 and above -SUSE Linux 10 and above ** For Windows 7 Aero graphics support in a virtual machine ** -3GB RAM (Host PC) -Intel Dual Core, 2.2GHz and above or AMD Athlon 4200+ and above -NVIDIA GeForce 9900GT and above or ATI Radeon HD 2600 and above Here are some helpful links provided by the following in regards to system requirements to support VMWare Workstation 10 and the HP Split x2 13's hardware specs: VMWare Workstation 10 system requirements - http://www.vmware.com/products/workstation/faqs.html HP Split x2 13 Product Specs - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c04104074 Good luck and happy shopping!

The model I purchased had a Pentium D processor clocked at 3.4ghz but I think it was a single core rather than a dual core. If you plan on upgrading it I have done some researching and I know the pentium dual core is supported and I have had one confirmation that the intel core 2 quad extreme q6700 is also supported but I cannot confirm as I have not tested it myself.

Yes, the Core 2 Duo - E8500 is 64 bit. You do not have to have to run a 64 bit OS to use one, but I'm running Vista 64 home with no issues after upgrading to it.

As long as it can run on a core 2 duo and Mavericks you'll be fine. ive ran eclipse on there without a problem.

The truth of the matter is this. All i5 Intel Processors lack hyperthreading. This i7 3770K is a quad core / hyperthreaded processor. This means 4 physical processor cores and each is capable of running 2 threads. This is , in effect 8 processor cores (Threads) running at the same time. This provides an approximate increase in performance of 30%. If your software uses multicore, the benefit is immediate. Is it worth the money to you becomes the question.

it states a dual core but because of the memory included it is not the fastest tablet out there. The screen size is great - it runs all the software I want it to do for a tablet it is just not super fast. it is not a processor issue just lack of memory, but hey the price is really good. did I mention the screen size is really great? hope this helps.

Best reference is: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php The i3 you indicated smokes the AMD. For CPU's with similar scores you'll also want to consider power usage, heat, etc. Also, keep in mind that although most operating systems can effectively use two or more cores, most software can't. So, unless your doing video rendering or something similar, the extra cores may just be wasted. Good luck with a hard choice.

Its a dual core, i7, 1.9GHZ/3.0GHZ, with 256gb ssd. No hard drive. It is plenty fast and has all the storage I'll need. Up and running in under 10 sec.

Thanks a lot for your response Askal, I have a core i7 2.98 Ghz with 4 GB RAM I will get the unit.

No, I do not remember that requirement, I did send it back as it would not load onto my computer, I have found it wont load other programs either so am looking into the problem.

Thanks for the advice but do you think the dual core would be better? It's cheaper as well.

Dual core. Read the following: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A6-5350M-Notebook-Processor.89642.0.html Amazon should revise its listing.

There is a single quad-core processor. This basically means 4 processors on a single chip so you can easily run multiple tasks at once and video and games will run smoothly.
