Re: [Flexradio] Time for an upgrade!
I spent a lot of time looking around for information on DPC's. I found interesting information at the Roland Cakewalk forums (www.cakewalk.com). Someone asked what BIOS I was using on my EX38-DQ6 board. It is a beta BIOS number F3B and it is not listed on the Gigabyte download website. It has to be requested by Email. Someone asked if I could recommend a motherboard. I don't think I'll be using any more Gigabyte boards. So far the Abit IX38 board is working well with Vista for photo and video editing. I have used ASUS boards before with good success. I hear that many Intel boards are good. At this point I don't feel comfortable recommending a specific board. I do believe that research relating to DPCs on motherboards is very important, prior to purchase. -- From: "Dale Boresz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 6:12 PM To: "Mark Ericksen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Time for an upgrade! > Hello Mark, > > Thanks for sharing this interesting information.

Re: [Flexradio] Time for an upgrade!
Hello all, Maybe this comment will help: I have a core 2 duo and a friend of mine has a quad core. Both are new Dell 530's. During SSB transmittion using the 10 band EQ and compander software in PowerSDR his CPU runs at around 10% and mine, with the duo core, runs at 25%.

Re: [Flexradio] Time for an upgrade!
I built two machines recently, one for my ham radio work, which includes connection to my Flex 5000, and one for photo and video editing (I take a lot of pictures and videos of my granddaughter). In both machines I used the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU. My photo and video machine runs Vista with 4GB of memory installed on an Abit IX38 motherboard, and my ham radio machine runs Windows XP with 2 GB of Memory installed on a Gigabyte EX38-DQ6. I have been building machines for years, but I learned a few things from this effort that I am willing to share. * Before selecting a motherboard do some research on the Internet paying close attention to how well a motherboard performs handling Deferred Procedure Calls.

You'd think that two processor cores running side by side would surely be faster than a single core right? And four cores working simultaneously would certainly run circles around it? Well no, only if the application that you are running is multithreaded and thus can take advantage of the extra cores - remember that about 99% of all software available today is programmed to run on a single core processor. Hence it isn't multithreaded and thus in the vast majority of cases you won't see a speed up, as the second, third or fourth core is just sitting there idling, or handling simple operating system tasks that don't eat up a lot of processing power in the first place.
