As far as multicore value, very little software uses multi-core processing natively (yet) and even less use it effectively.
however YOU could assign a process (say security apps/AV anti-malware) to a single core and unassign all other apps to that core (it's called set Affinty in XP in the task manager, some windows process cannot be set or denied) this would allow you to set the priority to high-realtime, without effecting other processes on the other cores

It's more like maximum disk read queue, minimum amount of work done.
