WHO Has not upgraded to a dual core

[Christian Darrall]

Well after seeing most ppeople on this forum have dual core its hard to pick out the single core people,

Who on this forum has not got a dual core processor and why,

also with at least 512mb of ram

 

[Kornowski]

I don't have one...

Why: Just got a new motherboard, Don't have the money, Don't see how it would benefit me...

 

[sup2jzgte]

I dont have dual core and I have no desire to ever do so

 

[Shane]

Same here,

Dont have the funds yet to spash out on a new pc...Im saving.


My current machine meets all my requirements at the moment but at a later date i would like a more up todate one.

thats a first, arn't dual core supposed to be more energy efficient also alot faster and more reliable,

i suppose they are expensive but the cheapest one ive seen was an intel D for 74.99 at pc world, which in fairness is cheap

If your talking about Intel celeron D that is not dual core....

People commonly mistake the D as to meaning Dual core but infact it just stands for Desktop.

I still have my P4 2.8 Ghz and 1GB DDR 400
I'm still looking for the perfect price\performance ratio and I will get a dual or quad as soon as I find it.

I use D and i have no desire too upgrade.

I still have a 2.2 Ghz and it does fine for me. I'm not a super big gamer, so I havent really upgraded to a faster processor. In the next year or so I will probably start working on a new pc and it will probably be dual core.

I have a p4 prescott core 3.2ghz and it works amazing for me on vista with 2gig ram i have no need to upgrade and spend the money on a new mobo and processor my comptuer is plenty fast for everythign i use it on..

I do have a dual core, and I got it right when it came out. I'm glad I made my choice, but many people just do not use the extra power, so it isn't needed. For me, thought, having dual core for Folding@Home is a bonus.

Lol why?

I would have kept the C2D

 

[palidon112]

im using a p4 640, and it gets the job done, but next summer im going to upgrade, likely to buy a quadcore, or whatever is most powerful at that time period.

Because when I buy something, I realize that it was a waste of money and I downgrade, then I feel that it was dumb to lose performance so I upgrade again

Theres a lesson there geoff, I mean....even animals can learn jk

 

[Kornowski]

My Athlon XP 2400+ does the job pretty well, So I'm not going to 'fix' something that isn't broken..

 

[The_Other_One]

If you're building/purchasing a new computer, try and get a duel core processor. Normal use, it's nothing too much better. However, I have had programs lock up(taking up 100% CPU utilization and what not) and I kept working not even realizing something "bad" was going on

 

[mrbagrat]

It hasn't arrived yet but my next build in about a week will have an E6400. But now no. A 2.13GHz Celeron D is what I'm stuck with.
