I note the following comment in the KB article: "You definitely want to get a multi-core (AMD or Intel) or a Pentium D processor since future versions of PowerSDR will be taking advantage of the technology. "
Leaving aside the fact that today dual core processors aren't hugely expensive (in fact, one of the cheapest computers Dell sells is a dual core), so the whole issue might be moot. However, if one is going to "buy for the future", it would be nice to know when that future will arrive. If the "future version of PowerSDR" that takes advantage of the processor doesn't arrive until, say, 2009, maybe you'd be better off saving your pennies and spending them on some other piece of ham gear (that second receiver option?). One might also want to know how that "taking advantage" will work, so that one could know what other enabling conditions (if any) that would be required (e.g. a particular OS or version, etc.). Maybe "limping along" with your existing computer, and waiting a year to upgrade the computer, might be a better strategy.
