TheRapture said:You aint stupid....FX57 is a premium unit...as long as the app can't use dual cores
That being said, I am amazed at what the X2's are able to accomplish...poor G5 owners
Thanks for the lift, but I did a test last night. I ran RAR compressing a 2 gig file and then tried to run Half Life 2. I got like 3 FPS. My freind did the same thing and said he was running smooth as silk.
However, since even with photography and web design, I usualy only run one app at a time, switching between them as I go--and that isn't true multitasking. PEople think if they have 10 programs open at one time and then are ony using one program that's multitasking.
Multitasking is having a game playing in one woindow and having a C++ compiler wroking at the same time. I'll probably never do taht sort of thing, but it's nice to have the capability. I mean I could probably come up with things I could do that take time now because I'm trained into thinking I can't do more than one thing at a time.
Still, the X2 at 2.4 Ghz--I'd like to ahve it over my FX57.
