The dual, without question, for most tasks. Two processors let the system stay responsive even if one CPU is totally tapped out.

P.S. Please don't end every thread title with "...". It's really not necessary.

I agree, a tower design 'asks' for a dual cpu. It is like having a lot of torque from a car engine.
