Replies JeremyM Posted at 7:15 am on May 15, 2008 C2D's are the only thing XP will utilize, kind of. Quads are for servers. Don't waste your money. Tursi Askari Posted at 3:17 am on May 15, 2008 Go for an E7200 imo. Benchmark quite close to the E8200 but cheaper. Dickij03 Posted at 11:09 am on May 14, 2008 High end core 2 will tipicaly beat a low end quad unless your using a program that can take advantage of all 4 cores. Name the processors and we can decide. DJ Josh Posted at 5:11 am on May 13, 2008 Well that honestly depends on what "high" and "low" end is. the5e Posted at 9:24 pm on May 12, 2008 I would go for duo if you want something now. Quad cores have to be programmed to make use of it and I don't think there's much software that takes advantage of that. actually the same applies for Duo core, it's called multithreading. They used to have the same problem. All 5 previous replies displayed.
