Looked at a 64 platform, and a dual processor system, but didn't spend the money 'cause I don't have anything that takes that much power to run.

DO NOT BUY A PENTIUM MOTHER BOARD. My pentium mother board went south on me so I called them and the first thing they want is your credit card # cause it cost u $25.00 per phone call to talk to a tech.  Asus has freeee tech support  |

Kitty, whats the scoop on that dual core? Is that the evuivalant to the P4 Hyper Threading? Or is that actually 2 CPU's and you need a mobo with two CPU slots? |

Watch this animation TK, it explains the differences about halfway through it. Scroll down to related links, and click on the one starting with "demo". http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentium_D/index.htmYes I know its an Intel link, only one I could find. |

I kinda thought that. Are those board specific? What I mean is dose the board have to accommodate a dual P or AMD or does the Dual core CPU accomadate most boards?

It has to be supported by the board. The socket doesn't change, for example a AMD X2 may fit into a board designed previous to the release of dual core CPU's, but it won't work. Most new boards support both single and dual core.

Yea the dual core is good I run 64 bit windows which has limited drivers. 64 bit will be much better when Vista Hits.
the dual core means that there are 2 processor cores on one chip. I know U will like the AMD TK just give it a try. Not much difference at all in the AMD X2's and the New
