Quad-core support on Intel Visual Fortran?

I am now using my own code for CFD and planning to buy either a core 2 duo or core 2 Quad Q6600 system. I do not want to spend much time on paralellizing the code. Can anyone tell me whether Intel Visual Fortran have compile options that do auto-paralellization across cores forcomputers with Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor? Or should I rather buy a Core 2 Duo system?

Autoparallelization automatically adapts to the number of available processors. Four works just fine. I suggest enabling optimization reports to see what the compiler did and didn't like about your code for parallelization. You may also want to look at OpenMP for better control of parallel code.
