if you have to choose - 64bits or dual core?

I want to buy laptop next year before June. I will probably get Dell. The thing is that what I know Intel in 2006 wwill relase Pentium M Yonah (dual core) and "maybe" something 64 bits but it won't be dual core. I would love to buy something dual core and 64 bits but probably it won't be possible. So what you think is better to buy dual core or 64 bits. I know about AMD Turion but I also need in my lappy Quadro card and as I knwo only Dell has it with Intel Pentium M. Acer has Turion but it comes with ATI card and it's no no for me.( I'm doing 3d for a living =).

Uhh, whats wrong with Ati??? I'm quite happy with my IBM T41p with Ati FireGL T2 for 3D...
As for dual vs. 64bit... are you planning on running more than 4Gb of memory on your laptop? If not, there really isn't difference between 32 and 64bit CPU/OS at the moment. Only with really large files/ amounts of memory.

Dual Core by a mile.

Dual core, and if youre doing complex cad... Quadro.

Why are you not using a desktop for CAD work?

- M4H
