watch out Macintosh! Dual 64s would be pretty bad ass.

The Opteron is also available in dual core flavors, and why should be obvious. Why go with dual CPUs (two cores) when you can go with dual dual core CPUs (four cores). Dual cores don't perform quite as well as dual CPUs, but they [should] cost less, consume less power, and obviously are more dense.minofifa said:why dual-core over dual cpu (like the opteron)?

No new motherboard is needed. All you need is a socket 939 motherboard and a thick wallet.xstatic said:Do the new dual core chips need a new motherboard or chipset etc? Do they use a different pin set? Also, as of right now the new AMD dual core chips are VERY expensive. Double the price of the new pentium dual core's![]()
