Sounds likely doesn't it? Right now, until it becomes old hat, and is
replaced by something even hotter, most manufacturers are really hyping
this feature, and it's almost certainly prominently mentioned on the
machine's features list. Of coursed, both processors share the same
sliver of silicon. This looks to be the wave of the future, as machines
with multiple multi-core processors, and chips with 4 processors, start
to appear.

Hi,
I hope this isn't a silly question.
I have a Dell 5150 with a 3.4 gigahertz Pentium 4 processor and
am not sure whether it's dual-core or not. I looked in the device
manager and notice two processor entries. Does this mean that the CPU is
a dual-core?

I don't know about JAWS having a processor all to
itself, but those dual-core processors are slick. the main advantage,
as you implied, appears to be performing cycle-intensive tasks, such as
virus checking, without crippling your system. I've used one for just a
few days shy of a year,and couldn't be happier.

Has anybody tried running JAWS 8 with RealSpeak
voices running, on a computer with a Duel Core processor. For those who
don't understand what they are, they are just the new type of processor,
which have two processors in one, meaning your computer wont slow down
when doing background tasks such as virus checking.
I fured this might make a big improvements to us
JAWS users as we are always running JAWS which is quite intensive, on
top of the application we are actualy trying to access.
Would it mean JAWS would almost have a processor
all to itself while you are running other stuff you are accessing.
