I second that... :o)) Lil ----- Original Message ----- From: <dsw32952@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: 2008-06-18 13:54 Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Single vs Dual Core speeds All else being as equal as possible to make a faie comparison - is a 3GHz single core processor faster or slower than a dual core operating at a typical 2.0 GHz speed? It seems to me that without an OS and software written to support the dual core that there will be little if any benefit to a dual core processor unless each core operates at the same (or near same) speed as the single core being compared to. Ditto with 64-bit processors. Can someone here put all this 32/64-bit single/dual/triple/quad-core gobbledy-gook into a perspective that makes sense to me (and everyone else here)?
