AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz Probably as close as you're going to get with a dual core. s

Maybe we computer users could get together and compile a list of programs that are multi-threaded and list how many threads they use. A list of programs that are NOT multi-threaded would also be useful. -- I don't understand why they make gourmet cat foods. I have known many cats in my life and none of them were gourmets. They were all gourmands!
From: geoff on 30 Oct 2009 19:49 I think most software is multi-threaded because usually the UI runs in one thread and other operations run in different, other threads (but there is one main process). It is done that way so the UI does not lock up when saving a file, for example, in notepad. Testing one core with software that is not written for multi-cores, actually means testing a core with software that will not generate so many threads that another core is used via the OS's load balancing capability. --g

Although it is a quad how do you think it rates??? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=5406477&sku=B69-0143&SRCCODE=WEM2074BY&cm_mmc=Email-_-Main-_-WEM2074-_-components
