Default Re: OT: New Processor

Do you run alot of things in the background when running games? If you do then it will help a noticeable amount.

As in one processor runs the game, the other does the anti-virus, MP3 player, rips the CD and anything you do in the background.

On the other hand if you don't run much stuff then HT is probably enough as it will improve the multi-tasking.

Finally games are going to utilise dual core eventually, so it would be future proof and good for a few years. As I understand it in a couple of years your effective processor power is going to double when games can use both cores.
