    I'm not happy with the Quad Core processor at the moment (see my various 100s of other posts related to Quad Core Stuttering), and I want to see if the system runs better/smoother with a dual core. Also since most of the games I run aren't Quad-Core compatible/optimized, it would be putting the laptop in the configuration I should have bought to begin with. I'll be keeping the Quad-Core for "later re-upgrade" or in the event of "warranty service" so I can pop it back in before sending it back to the mothership.
