Hi,

you are probably confusing dual core with 2 diferent cpu. Dual core means 2 cores in one cpu. And it is not only for servers, is for anyone o can afford it. looool
And looking at the benchmarks thoses babys are amazing.

i wait until games got a good suport for dual cores. nfsmw runs horrible on a dual core system.

NFS MW sucks anywhere you play it. Underground 2 is much better.

O.o Most Wanted > U2 all around!

and i dont like dual core systems for gaming...

I like all of the Need For Speed series! Underground was good, Underground 2 was better, and Most Wanted is uber sweet as well!
I like being able to buy and customize whatever car I want (as long as it is in the game), and I like that they brought the police back

!

Anyways, I would love to get a DualCore CPU! I currently have an AMD Athlon64 3200+ and it runs great! Way better than my AthlonXP 2500+ Barton! I can't afford the price tag mind you, but I do alot of audio/video encoding, and gaming. That's where it shines. AMD all the way, cya later Intel!

There is absolutely no reason at the moment to go duel core unless you seriously run mutli threaded applicat3isns.. other than tht the other core will be idle.
