Imagine the difference between a Pentium-D/E840 and an equivalent performance X2 system being a 75 - 100 watt light-bulb INSIDE the computer, and its effect on the cooling requirements to keep the rest of the circuitry happy and long-term RELIABLE -- especially any electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard, whatever about the GPU reliability and potential throttling of the CPU.

Lol, I find this heat argument funny.
My parents have a AMD 2600+ XP processor and a RADEON 9000 card. In a medium tower in a small room. After a few hours the room gets damn hot. So this heat argument is irrelevant. All processors and graphics cards produce enough heat to warm up any room We don't speek about the damn old Athlon XP processor, but about the modern Athlon 64 and Pentium D. And there is a big difference between them. Moritz |

"Roger Hamlett" wrote in message ... "Skybuck Flying" wrote in message ... P.S.: The last part of the video says it all: Pentium 840 EE faster for multiple applications. Right now I have 14 applications open and this is only a light load: 1 Msn messenger and 1 MSN chat window 1 Acrobat reader 3 Windows explorers 1 Textpad 3 Internet Explorers 1 Winzip 1 Media Player 1 Microsoft outlook express 1 Microsoft Anti Spy ware (had to do a scan) 1 Zone Alarm Pro firewall I am not even developing software... no development environments open, I am not even downloading with internet explorer or bittorrent. I am not even playing music. So who the **** cares if AMD **** is faster for a single application. Actually, you are probably only running one application... This is a common thing with MS, that you have a lot of applications loaded, but only the one with the 'context' (active at the front of the screen), is actually doing anything. Windows for many people, is a 'task switching' OS, rather than a 'multi-tasking' OS. Having a lot of applications 'running', requires you to be using applications that carry on performing jobs, while you are not looking at them. Again take a look at the list above and tell me which application you think are running at the same time. Besides from that I know pretty sure that multi threaded software will benefit greatly from multi core processors since now software can be pipelined via multiple threads... very cool stuff. Bye, Skybuck. |

(and many other chips that do not cost hundreds of pounds!! ;-) |
