I’m checking out a all in one computer (Touch screen) etc Which is this in link, and I’m unfamiliar with core strength to run Lightroom 6 as its a Quad with 1.8Ghz, this is the spec of machine in link – http://h20386.www2.hp.com/AustraliaStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=M1P68AA&opt=&sel=DTP .. At the moment I only have a AMD Athlon Duo 2 processor @ 3 Ghz x 2 6000+ etc .. & (GeForce GTS 450 @ 1G Ram) etc .. And a total of 8Gb on M/Board RAM & Windows 10 64bit OS, upgraded from Window 7 for free, which I still have, but I’m finding the process of exporting and going onto the next image is lagging terribly to a stage I have to wait until the export is finished before going onto the next batch of photos, and make me feel frustrated etc.. So what is it that I need to improve, is it the Processor to a Quad, where the one in the link and all I can afford atm is $300 and cost $300 through private sale or is it a new Graphics card with 2 GB of Ram for my old machine , I’m not sure my motherboard with PC I have at the moment can go any higher than 8Gb on motherboard bios, but the one in link, can get 16Gb upgrade etc, the processor is the only problem.. Any one help with this direct to head above or even mention what other Computer that works well with spec to run Lightroom 6.. Hope I have enough information and not confused anyone :), thanks if you have the time to help, and let me know if the spec in link provided is able to run lightroom 6 to know if I should go ahead or not waste the money spent etc .. ???

But you weren't gaining great benefit from the quad-core because the clock speed of that processor is so much slower (1.8Ghz vs. your current 3Ghz.). That means some things that only use a single core could actually be slower!
I'd suggest you simply wait until you're going to be away from your computer, and set the exports up just before you leave. That should help with the frustration level a bit.
My computer - 27" retina iMac with 32GB of RAM, so no speed complaints here. ;-) If you want a point of comparison, the geek bench score is 16639. I also have an older MacBook Pro, only dual core, with a geek bench score of 5740. That's useable in LR but starting to verge on frustrating.
