Question: Anybody tells some experiences about using Maple on Intel Core Duo Dual core?

My laptop is broken and I am seriously considering purchasing a new laptop. I mainly use the laptop to do all kinds of programming, including Matlab, C/C++, Fortran, Maple, Mathematica, etc. I am wondering if anybody can tell some experiences about speed performance of Maple on Core Duo Dual Core processors? Are the computations on these computers really faster? I recall a few months ago I had tested a Monte Carlo program in Matlab on my friend's new Intel Quad Core (4 cpus). He paid $6000 for a desktop like that. The speed was not improved at all.
