Quad or Dual Cores?

[dario03]

Same basic concept though. If you don't think about it so hard and just read through it you can understand it. I had no problem reading his post.

Granted I'm not saying everybody should write like that (because its full of mistakes) but sometimes people become grammer nazis when they shouldn't be.

Back on topic: I would upgrade to a dual core now and then upgrade again to a quad core. Intel quads are supposed to run on the same chipsets so you would just need a new cpu.

well the quad core for amd isnt really a quad core its actually 2 x2 cpus on one mobo so u have 2 940 sockets and intel will actually have one quad core cpu wich will pe preaty cool to see im quite shure it will ouperform amd 4x4 but if u have less money get a x2 now and later on get a mobo with 2 sockets and a second 2x

What? No, thats two dual cores, AMD will have quad-cores as well. Dual dual core systems have been around ever since they released dual core CPUs.

i know theyve been able to do it for servers but there introducing it for desktop

IIRC the 4x4 system requires Amd FX series processors and ram for each one.

oh ok so maybe its not worth getting 4x4
