Are you multi-cored?

Looking at the recent Intel adverts, I feel lonely :((
"Multi-Core Is Mainstream: Are you ready?"
Both at home and at work, I am still on Pentium 4, and do not have any plans (especially for my home PC) to upgrade yet. At home, I have Dell Precision with Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz, at work it is self-built (with Dell monitor) with Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz. How about you? are you multi-cored to the teeth? Best regards, Paul.
Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.
If I ate two apples I'd be multi-cored... ;P

I have one multicore machine and I despise the notebook for not being multicore.

I have a 2.8GHz Pentium D. I'm kicking myself. If I had waited 2 more months to buy my machine, I could have had a Core2 Duo. We have some of those for a project we're working on and I still haven't found a way to bring them down. Those things are FAST.

Both my laptop and desktop are multicore. Laptop is a Core2 duo, pretty new, and my desktop is an aging dual-core AMD. I forget the actual specs, but it's a socket AM2. It's not bad, but it's no Core2 duo, in my opinion. For the first time ever, my laptop compiles stuff faster than my desktop :)

Well thought. Believe it or not you got me thinking, the first question is why apple? I looked at your profile, say Australia and google for Australia apple and it was all iPod! Then, I realised, apples have core, and eating them with the teeth, you have multi-core to the teeth.

No multicore for me :^). I do have a K6-2 with 3DNow! that's pretty spiffy.

I see, then you agree with Intel that it is the Mainstream. Best regards, Paul.

Hmmm, you are then fully multi-cored. Are you into games? Best regards, Paul.

Yep, well done!! We do have Apple Mac's etc here too, but yes, that was my nice double entendre for the day!!

It is still faster than mine, and I am yet to start kicking myself, just make sure you do not kick the machine ;P

Frankly, the result shows. My company recently did an interactive environment for a show-room (display welcome animated messages to multiple screen etc), and could not help but recommend Core2 Duo to the client. Best regards, Paul.

Finally, I have a normal person, the other are making me feel poor ;P Best regards, Paul.

No, but compiles go pretty fast
Yeah, when compiling my documents with Sandcastle, I just wish it is faster. Sometimes at home, I go to take a rest in the sofa (while waiting for the Sandcastle output), and never come back till the next day (already tired from the day's work) :(( Well, I also wish there is wiifee to wake me up :laugh: Best regards, Paul.

Your processor isn't magically going to upgrade itself like when your car ran on fumes for miles and miles? ;P

P4 2.4 GHZ, not even hyperthreading. Waiting for the Quad-Cores to be a bit cheaper. When I get a new box, I like it to be at least twice as fast as the old one. Before this one, it was PIII-450...now there was a quantum leap :)

You brought some hope, I will wait for the 8-cores then :-D I love the AMD deal of 3-core, give something cheaper to the clients. Best regards, Paul.

I still cannot imagine doing development on laptop. I was given one when I first joined my current company, and I had it changed that very day. I hate the keyboard and the small screen. Best regards, Paul.

Multicore all way. I've recently upgraded my home PC to core2duo e6300 (gentoo compiles waaay faster) and talked my boss to buy me a multicore pc. However he was choosing and I got pentium D :/ It's better than a hyperthreaded p4 though..
