One other problem with Dual-Core. Some of my users have reported
problems with Thunderbird and other applications that were traced
back to dual-core issues. Forcing processor affinity on the executable resolved the problem.

I suspect that there are other DC-unfriendly applications out
there that will cause some users problems as we've already seen
this on X2.

The thing about AMD X2 users is that they are generally
enthusiasts that have the ability to work through these problems.
I'm not sure that the masses will be ready for dual-core and
potential problems with it.
