"Remember your HAL controls threads, and everything has threads, your OS, your apps, everything. So lets say you bust open Quake 2, which is single threaded. Will you see a performance increase with two CPUs over one? YES. Why? The HAL can dedicate a CPU to the Quake 2 thread, and run the OSs threads through the Other CPU. The Machine will run better. If your run a multi-threaded app, the HAL can grab the threads from that program and execute two threads at once. It will assign one to each CPU. This brings up a key point. If a p2 450 can only run one thread, and a dual p2 450 can run two, then why is there not a 100% performance increase? The two CPUs must talk to each other. This bus overhead causes a drop in the performance of the CPUÂ’s. So, in the end, you get an 80% increase."
Do you understand yet?!?!
i understand one thing, you are wrong...
do not feel bad 4w4k3, you belong in this forum, people who refuse to acknowledge the facts and claim to know so much who cant even say that their system will be outperformed ever, dont belong in this forum...
example #1
example #2
"An abstract analysis looks like this: more is not less - but it is not always better. Anyone who wants one of the boards that we tested for switching over to two CPUs later should save their money instead. Even the argument that dual boards can create a powerful graphics or CAD workstation is not very convincing.
In the end, even professional CAD/CAE/CAM applications do not permanently access two CPUs. The reason is that multiprocessor support is a far cry from consistent, balanced utilization of both CPUs.
"
example #3
"clearly shows that dual operation does not necessarily mean increased speed for all applications. Rather, you need software that has been specially adapted to multiprocessor operation, so that the load is equally distributed between the two CPUs"
its bad enough you blocked PM's cause you were losing our last argument but god,
oh well, this is once again a pointless thread much like the last one we argued in chaos, perhaps you cant read thread titles or find yourself incapable of staying on topic either way please keep your posting in threads on topic, you can argue comps all you want, but this is bad procedure to run a thread about latency times into a dual processor vs single processor fight.
and BTW, your comp sucks
learn to take a GD joke
EDIT: oh yah, forgot one thing, could you please stop insulting all the other people in the forum for their intelligence... we are all hoping you will leave, not everyone else on these forums
