What are you using it for?

Have you ever thought you needed a SMP system (multiple CPUs)?


You'll see big improvements in multithreaded tasks such as video and audio encoding. Also in Photoshop and 3D Rendering.

If you don't do anything of that all the time, then it is a huge waste of money for you. There will be little to no improvement in games until developers start coding games to take advantage for the extra CPU.




Not to sound like a broken record fanboy but Intel's dual core implementation is already seen to be mediocre. It doesn't give near the performance increases as AMD's X2 dual cores. Plus it runs super hot since it has 2 Prescotts running on it. Just getting that out in the open. I know you won't take it to heart since your a huge intel fanboy.
