I don't want to do that at this time. Would you stay with the dual rather than the quad? ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean A.

I was going to upgrade to quad core; however, someone who knows what he is talking about posted a message on the midimag list which read: " Hey, the only problem not is that quad cores aren't really supported right by xp 32 bit, I understand that two cores is really only used, and with 64 bit, which will be king sometday, but for now, many dxi synths and effects won't work, so for now, better do dual boot or wait till 64 bit grows up and everyone catches up. Any thoughts on this? John Fioravanti
