Wrong. Most programs these days are being developed to use multicore processors. You get so much more for your money if you buy a multicore processor, compared to an old singlecore one, especially because the technology isn't really being developed on anymore. For gaming, a quadcore processor is ideal. Something around 3GHz is generally a good speed. Getting this for a laptop is going to be difficult though. A 2.8GHz dual core is probably the best you will get, which is pretty good too.

But also, Graphics cards, for new games need to be very good. Almost need to update every year if you want to play on high settings.

This isn't true at the moment. Graphics development is much slower the last few years, because of consoles.

An 8800 GTS can still play most games at high settings, and that's a 4 and half year old card.
