The performance for Core 2 Quad is greater than core 2 duo X6800.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Given that Core 2 Quad costs somewhere between Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Duo, I'm expecting that the performance is somewhere in between these 2.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Shall see the reviews in LA next month.
It's better for Windows Vista Ultimate.Originally posted by orionlight:overkill in my opinion, very few applications will actually make use of the four cores simultaneously.Sure, it may make your encoding a little faster but are you willing to pay the $?
Better in what sense, care to enlighten?I believe the core 2 duo can run the vista(premium, ultimate etc whatever the nonsense names M$ have come up) just fine with less damage to your pocketOriginally posted by GSL:It's better for Windows Vista Ultimate.
all quotes from Intel shows that prices will drop. I would advise you to wait at least till March 2007 PC show and then decide.Originally posted by Mid9Sun:so how?? if its time for me to change PC...so I should wait more?
yup, orion's right....cuz now not all softwares, etc are making use of duo or quad cores effectively....even games....will take time for their programmers to write codes to use the multi-cores effectively though.Originally posted by orionlight:overkill in my opinion, very few applications will actually make use of the four cores simultaneously.Sure, it may make your encoding a little faster but are you willing to pay the $?
