sgolds - re: dual core


UpNDown, other than bragging rights, what compelling need do you have for a dual-core Athlon64 or AthlonFX machine in the near future? When it is shipping I'm sure you will want a new motherboard supporting the faster memory available at that time - this will be a very bandwidth-hungry device!

Smoothness in heavy multi-tasking situations superior to iHT.

While Ruiz' comments are exciting to enthusiasts, the real beneficiary is the OEM who will have new markets for existing motherboard designs.

Which is why it will be an instant, well-marketed by the OEMs success.
