I am such a GOOM...

Hm, any advantages with a dualie system? I don't think I'd find any gains in gaming..But it has to be a lot faster..

But I have been looking into possibly making my next box a dualie board. But I'm gonna use AMDs, those xeons cost a fortune, not to mention the boards are like 500 bucks.

Heres mine:

Advantage of Dual monitors: Lots of windows open to surf, LOTS of room when doing CADD

Haha, I have one of those badges that I repainted with model paint on the top of my monitor. Id post a pic, but im at a friends house https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



~T.J.

I take advantage of them because I'm usually running alot of programs at once... you ever had your PC just freeze up for a second or two while running more than one thing in the background? I usually don't have that problem... some programs can use both directly, but even if they don't... if you have a multi-cpu aware OS like WinNT/2K/XP or Linux, the OS will handle sceduling the tasks across the CPUs



Some games like Quake3 and others can actually take advantage of the duals, but not too many... there are however other OS level processes like graphics and sound processing that can be offloaded to the other CPU by the OS...



I'm wanting to get dual monitors but don't have enough desk space at the moment... need to get 2 LCDs (mmm... that would be nice), the car parts are winning out though... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png the LCD screens I want are pretty pricey :(



I think about the Dual AMD solutions sometimes... depends on my mood on which would be better though... the Intel stuff will be coming down in price real soon though... AMD does have that advantage for now... I'm mostly concerned with the newness of AMD multi-cpu chipsets, although I've heard that the 760MP is supposed to be pretty stable and a good performer... *shrug* who knows... my Pc is fast enough for now... car needs to go faster... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... (even though it's pretty darn fast already https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... )

I guess I did have pics of my puter up online already. They're crappy as they're taking with my webcam.



I will put up specs at a later time..... Gonna do my brake pads and change oil here in a sec ! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
