As for the second question (Which has nothing to do with PCSX2), quad cores are cheap enough that you might well want to consider getting one. However, for almost all current software (With the exception of video encoding and other specialized tasks) you'd notice no real increase in performance, unless you multi-task *very* heavily (Like compressing a rar, running PCSX2 in dual core mode, and watching porn encoded using the H.264 codec on your second monitor all at the same time).

Wow. *Nominated for post of the month*
Absolutely everything you said was correct, self-explanitory and easy to understand.
Well done.

I was wondering if there are any plans to make PCSX2 to support quad-cores in the future and wether or not it would be worth getting a quad-core isntead of a dual-core.

The question you have to ask yourself it if you want to play current high-end games, such as Crysis, Lost Planet, Gears of War, Bioshock, Unreal Tournament 3, etc. etc.
If you do, then a Quad-Core would be the better choice, but you'd have to overclock it to get the same level of performance in other apps.
Buy a Q6600 with the G0 stepping (important!) and a Tuniq Tower/Ultra 120 eXtreme cooler, and overclock to 3.2-3.5Ghz.
Good Luck. Oh, and you'd also need an 8800 GTX or better if you want the Quad.
