Dual core, but only 2.2GHz - I could've gotten a faster proc, but I wasn't willing to pay the price. I did splurge on a 120gbyte 7200rpm drive, though. Came with SUSE on it, too, but I've got it dual booting with FreeBSD 7 amd64. Works great, except that the native FireFox and all other web browsers I've tried crash (no core, nothing, it just disappears) on the javascript on a lot of web sites, including gmail. Haven't had the time to pursue that one very much, though I've asked on this list a few times.
