Leveraging Quad Core - Timeline

I am in the same boat as many on this forum -- working withour staff to specify a system that most effectively runs SW for the\$. From the many posts, the current consensus seems to be that afast Core2 Duo is a better value than a Core2 Quad, this beingderived from SW not taking advantage of multi-threading. I have notread anything confirming multi-threading leveraging in SW2009. Cananyone provide a development timeline for multi-threading? PerhapsGreg Jankowski can shed some light on this -- SW2010, SW20011?

Our replacement timeline is ~2.5 years. I need to know if we gowith Duo in the near term for value, if we will be kickingourselves for 2, 1, or 0 years.

All of the information on this forum is appreciated. I was able togain a great deal of knowledge from the posts. Thanks!
