Dual Core vs. Pentium D

[DjKraid]

You obviously didn't read the part of my message about the 4cyl and 8cyl analogy

2 cores x 4 ghz = 8 ghz
4 cores x 3 ghz = 12 ghz

you are trying to compare apples and oranges.

As far as not using all the cores that is NOW, but that will soon change to accommodate many more cores than just 4, THAT is the way of the future and if you dont believe you can stay stuck in the past..

Intel pledges 80 cores in five years

Where do you even get that 4 and 3GHz from? And then there's another thing to, if u'r planing to play games on the computer...how meny games are there that actually use all the 4 cores?

Switch to AMD Athlon...u get more for the money..! (atleast that's how it's here where i'm from, the intel cpus are very expensive)

Motherboards:
ASUS - Ok, but har to find drivers and slow to download
Gigabyte - Ok
MSI - almost Ok
DFI (LanParty) - Good
EVGA - Never tested one
aBit - Ok, has some nice features (not sure about the spelling there :/ )

@gguerra, you are still very confused as to how a CPU works. As I suggested before, read up on it before spouting nonsense like your above post.

Just to make it clear, Cinebench is only one of the few apps like Photoshop that is actually able to take advantage of multiple cores. How many such apps can you name? And how many of them actually provide a significant speed boost when using quad-core CPUs as opposed to dual-core ones? Another thing to know is that rendering apps like Cinebench and 3ds Max are optimized for multi-core use in a much better way and sooner since they need high-end hardware to run so as to speed up rendering as much as possible.

And as for the frequency, it absolutely does matter. Read Tom's Hardware's CPU Charts and you'll find that the E8400's higher frequency allows it to easily pull ahead of or be on par with the Q6600 in the majority of the tested apps and games.

Well I got my new CPU ,E5200, which speeded up my computer a lot, then not happy with that I decided to buy myself a new gpu, Radeon HD 4670 - and now boy is my computer running fast and smooth, so thankyou to everyone for you're advice

great job.

happy to hear you have it all behind you now

dont feel bad bro.

the computers at my work have these spec's

intel celeron 1.3ghz (single core)
onboard graphics
128mb ram


my owner just installed a T-1 line
(im wondering if he thinks the pages will load faster with this new line?)
