Has anyone used a Phenom X3? I am thinking of replacing my aging MSI Mega 180 SFF (Athlon XP 2400) with something newer.
Right now, I'm looking at either the Asus EEE BOX, or building myself a Phenom X3 based system. I know everyone will say that a C2D is a better arch and that it's probably faster, but I would really like to try out the new Phenoms. I have a C2D machine at home, and love it. I just want to be a bit different and try out a X3. Seeing 3 cores in task manager is probably worth the 100 dollars they are asking for a Phenom X3 8450 :). I know that for Vista and XP you need a patch from MS so that it detects odd numbered cores, but what about UBUNTU? Will it detect and utilize all 3 cores? -- Best Regards, Zulfiqar Naushad
