Well, it all depends on what generation of single/dual-core processors you're using. An Intel Core 2 Duo at 1.8 GHz would certainly run better than a Pentium 4 single core at 3.0 GHz. I'm not sure a Pentium D 1.8 GHz would run better than a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, though. I see that you've already ordered the new computer, so it's a bit late to tell you that if you're getting a new computer, you should get one with a Core 2 Duo, as opposed to the Pentium D of the last generation. Core 2 Duos are way better than the Pentium Ds.
