Only 4 years old?
4 cores on rare occasions does have its place even with the regular users. Say you want to play a game while while running a virus scanner such as norton or mcafee. Don't worry as computers increase in power it will let the programmers create less efficient/ sloppy coding, which is something a fair bit will take advantage of to the fullest.
Already computers reached the point 2 or 3 years ago where they and the applications they run are sufficient for 90% of computer users. Its only with the increasingly demanding OSs, videogames, HD video, CAD, bloated virus scanners and Adobe bloatware that more is required for the remaining 10% of users, and even most of them now have sufficient power as well.
The computer sales will be headed for a major slowdown soon in northamerica, unless developers can help out the pc industry by uniting and bloating all their software or intel and amd start making degradable organic processors that die out every 3 or 4 years of heavy use.
