Then why did you seperate them ? Actually they are, just not by everything, programs like photoshop, and other large photo, 3d maniplutation, or video encoding/decoding software will make use of it. 2 or more processors in windows make use for real multitasking, where one CPU can encode your video and the other can play music and write a word doc. Vista and SMP linux kernels take advantage of the multiple processors even if the programs themself dont. The onyl way programs will start taking advantage is if we start moving over to more multiple processor machines.

3.51Ghz Core2Duo baby :-)

Way too fast to count (above 3.5 GHz)
4GIG RAM duals

My new system is well run in now :)

Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) @ 2.4Ghz
8MB L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB

ASUS P5K3 Deluxe motherboard
Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb DDR3
4 x 500GB Western Digital hard disks - RAID 10 (0+1) = 931GB usable space
2GB Kingston RAM
22" Widescreen Acer TFT

It's great for stuff like Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and I play Battlefield 2142 at the highest settings which is nice.

I was going to search the forums, I'm sure we've been posting amazing computer specs for years in Chit Chat now. They just look antiquated in retrospect!

Is there a slow as molasses option, cause mine would go in that catagory.

LOL, I repair computers all the time, and I tell them that the speed depends on the operator and only matters when you're a Graphic Designer/3D Renderer/Video Producer... but for the rest any is enough...

[or Gamer :P]

I have an AMD Athlon Thunderbird Model C running at 1.4Ghz (overclocked from 1000Mhz) with 512MB of ram. Built this box back in 2000 or 2001...really should upgrade but she's still running fast so I see no reason to do so.

Intel Centrino 2.0GHz Dual Core. Full specs here: Brand New Dell Inspiron 1520 Notebook if anyone's interested.

;_; I don't know how you survive on that thing anymore.

I'm running a AMD x2 5600 on my new pc and a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo in my macbook

Computer speed isn't dependant on the CPU, other factors make it "fast" as well. As for me, I'm still running an Intel 2.8GHz "Northwood" HT processor from a few years back coupled with 1GB DDR RAM. Still pretty fast.
