Default Re: OT: New Processor

I do tend to have a few things running simultaneously, usually while playing MMOGs of some variety, during the downtime I'm often burning CDs or web browsing, etc. And since most games music tends not to suit my tastes, I almost always have an MP3 player running in the background. On the current machine, I usually run into a annoyingly noticeable delay when switching between programs. Would dual core help with that at all? And of course once games start taking advantage of dual cores, that'll be a bonus as well.

On the AMD side of things, I was looking at their website and I noticed the 'top' AMD processors, the FX-55 and the FX-57 seem to have dropped dual core technology. Does anyone know if they've done anything fancy to make up for this?
