It makes a P4 at 3.5ghz look like super crap.
Yes, but how much software did you have to give up to use it? A lot of software won't run on that yet, or run right anyway.

just came in the mail two days ago (wife told me...:(...i'm in the desert so don't get to use it for another four months../cry)

3.73GHz Dual Core Intel Pentium D Extreme Edition 965 (with 2x2mb cache), 4gigs of corsair high performance ram, and 5 500gb disk drives (4 in raid 5...1 backup)

i think that should be a good upgrade from my pentium 3...

Im actually not running on 64bit. Not until Vista. So far, everything has run flawlessly, I do a lot of graphic design and usually have Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator open at the same time, so its a charm for multi-task. As for gaming, well, I think Oblivion is the only game out there that will take control of dual processors, but practically all the future games will handle dual core. Games like Ghost Recon and Battlefield need to be run on one Core, however.

Dual Core and 64bit isnt there yet, but I give it a few more months, maybe by the end of this year. But for now, everything runs super fast and super good, so I cant complain. I think this is the time when everyone is upgrading, lots of specials and deals out there.

I'm still running a P4 2.8, but have thought about upgrading numerous times. I may do it here in a few months. I kind of want to wait and see what happens with the dual core technology. I think it'll move further and faster than anyone thought it would. It'll be interesting to follow it. ;)

Its not that dual core processors are not there yet, its that most OS's and programs are not taking full advantage of multiple processors.

deathemperor 05-25-2006 08:31 AM
