With your reading comprehension I would be dreaming to expect you to understand the question. Well, my reading comprehension must be better than yours because I already told you that I didn't have a multi core cpu or a muti cpu board. Let's review yet again -. you confused "your apps" to mean every Linux app in the world. So I'm addressing your "you've got to be kidding" comment. Please try to follow a thread. Since I didn't know at the time I asked, if you did, or did not have multicore, your response is not only clueless but ignorant too. BTW, what's with the hostility? Is Linux a religion to you? If you're some sort of Linux high priest please bear in mind that I only consider it an operating system. I don't worship any of them, and I never criticized any of them, so your attitude is puzzling to say the least. If I accidentally crossposted to "alt.fanatic.linux," I apologize I thought it was "alt.comp.hardware.amd.x86-64" Are they one and the same? That being the case, why don't you try and guess how many programs I run multicore. That being the case why don't you just say "I don't know" next time and save us both a lot of time. |

Thanks Now, is there some other way you want to try and put Linux down as that seems to be your objective rather than actually get reasonable answers. Please try to point out, ONCE where I put Linux down. I came here to ask questions, I have no agenda and I'm not implying anything. Unlike yourself, when I don't know about something I ask about it, not preemptively criticize it. My questions are to be taken as face value. But while we're on the subject, we're talking about OSs here, not family, religion, or politics. Who cares if someone bashes them? I'm not offended by your XP comments, I only suggest that you try something before criticizing it. It's been said that the only thing Microsoft could build, that doesn't suck, is a vacuum cleaner - and I find that joke hilarious. See? I just bashed Microsoft. So relax, step away from the keyboard and get outside once in a while. |

wrote: 64 bit architecture, multiple cores, it's all wonderful stuff. But as everyone probably knows, without a mainstream 64bit OS with solid drivers, without 64bit apps optimized for multithreading, it's all a bit premature. I know that this technology has its advantages now but when will it be fully utilized? Does anyone care to predict how long until software/OS developers make the complete transition? Will Longhorn be 64bit by default or will there be a special 64bit version? (the way XP Pro is just getting now) All thoughts appreciated. LOL. Microsoft has to put in all the hooks for Intel's new Big Brother technology dual core processors. When they're done with that, they'll let you know. http://www.digitmag.co.uk/news/index.cfm?NewsID=4915 You think this stuff is easy ? |

No, you asked some really dumb questions. If Wes does not have more than
one core on hi com system, why would he be concerned with aps being multi-threaded? Here is a suggestion, think of some types of software you like to run, go to a linux group/usenet area and questions there. As a very rough rule, server stuff may be mutlti-threaded as may heavy duty graphics rendering progs. Until you know what you want to do with your system, it is really pointless you asking what app is multi core enabled as you will get a whole lot of useless information.

Ed,
Leave in a bit of the post that you are replying to so your replies make sense. Your last reply was very cryptic. Cryptic - How about this? :-) (NOT a personal attack on you, just something silly) Head man who is not the mistress who puts food in traps. (1 word) alternate question Person (can be a member of a team) who argues in front of a crowd. (1 word) I think it should be solvable in less than 10 mins.
