Because I can . I have 24 DVD Titles on my FTP, growing daily 300Gb SATA- $215 Each. FSB - 2000MT/s Since when does software need to be dual CPU enabled to take advantage of Dual CPU Cores?? News to me..You didn't ask why the fast router?????? Because I have a 24Mbit connection!!!!! And I can Download, Play online, Host my FTP - ALL AT ONCE with my dual core cpu, and not LAG OUT Hoo daddy.. Quick B'mark of '05 coming up, then maybe a tweak here and there, And I'll see how she goes.. Water cooling anyone??It's gonna be a late night.....................<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hahah that's cool I thought it would be for a bisnuss. PCI Express is more for up and coming upgradability and of course AGP is fine that's what I have.I also have ADSL2 24Mb 2000Mhz FSB 200GIG HDD 8MS refresh LG AMD so on and so onAs for the duel core I think you will find that multiple applications are simultaneously available to any one, and that a high amount of RAM with a good board and fast CPU are all you need.If a software application is not written in duel core code your second core is not even being used. That’s what I have recently been informed of.But again just like the PCI Express the whole point of getting a AMD is for its 64Bit compatibility cupelled with is duel core technology it makes for a great CPU for future upgrades, you know when software catches up.Im intrested in getting your thoughts on this.
