Need some info on dual-core

[lynx]

My local supplier started shipping the X2 4800+ this week. Now if someone could just drop £750 on me...

The single core Intels seem to do better then the dual core Intels in a lot of test...wierd..

AMD dual cores look amazing!

All the ABit Socket939 mobo's will support the x2 chips, but may need a bios update. This is probably also true for all the other major Socket939 suppliers, simply because the memory controller is built in to the chip.

Yup.
The last BIOS releases for my DFI board have all included dual-core support.
Gigabyte seems slow to release BIOS updates, but they'll get with the program, too.


You guys (you know who you are....) have got to stop with this ABIT Fatality shit...the board is junk.
If you want performance get the DFI LP, if you want stability and a good feature set get the Gigabyte.
Make sure you get the NF4 chipset.
Neither board comes with blingLEDs, but you'll get over it.
