Why would I need an i7 anyway?
Is an AMD Phenom II 8GB Ram faster than a dual core Pentium 2GB Ram? and by how much?
I'm not really sure what programs require an i7's performance.
My research is telling me I may not even tap into it for years to come, That doesn't make much sense to buy one now. I can buy it later.
I really just want a fast computer that doesn't search for things just gets them, inexpensive is good too!!! I just want to buy the best one for my needs. -business, some graphics, no games at all

I would recommend that you go for a computer that has about 2.6-3.0 GHZ. Look for about 4gigs of Ram, at least 500gigs of hard disk space.
But to answer your question yes the AMD Phenom is way faster by about 40%

Well WHICH Phenom II? 8Gb rams is a lot, but useless if you have a 32bit OS what do you have now? If its as good as a dual core why get anything?...be more specific...light general work. ..you can get any makes lower end computer.

ok fast, i would go with AMD, because what makes your Computer fast is the ram/some of the processor. Pentium suck anyway there extremely outdated, like i3 would better. All AMD is just Intel's competition.
