You will see a difference under two scenarios: 1) you are using a program that recognizes and can take advantage of 2 CPUs or 2) you do more than 1 CPU intensive task at once.
I don't know if Nero/AutoGK are multi-CPU aware or not. -- Brian On 5/13/07, James Maki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Am I going to see a real world difference in upgrading from a 3700+ AMD64 single core (2.2 GHz) to a 4200+ AMD64 X2 (2.2 GHz) or 2.2 GHz dual core Opteron? Enough to justify the $125-$235 expense? Main cpu intensive use is video editing with Nero 6.6 and xvid coding using AutoGK. Appreciate the input. Jim Maki [EMAIL PROTECTED]
