I am now considering dual processors - just not sure and want to get
as much feedback as possible before diving into putting the new system
together. I am hoping to order parts Thursday and build this weekend.
If anyone has ANY comments on their system and what kind of
performance you get please feel free to post - or email me off list.
Thanks again,
Donna

I like it - it definitely improves performance response time when using
multiple applications. But really only for those applications tuned to
multi-processor performance to begin with.
CF won't benefit nearly as much as it will from dual CPUs (a dual PIII 1000
would I think give a single P4 3Gh HT at least a run for it's money if not
beat it outright under load - and probably costs about the same), but it
will definitely benefit. My workstation is a P4 3.06 GHz with HT enabled
and my development server is a Dual PIII 1000 (running at 1100).
This doesn't really have anything to do with memory however - just
performance. HT won't do anything to help a memory hog - only more memory
will do that. If it's a choice for CF always go with with more memory
rather than a faster processor (in general).

Okay - I fried my motherboard last weekend and have decided to build a
new system instead of replacing the old one. I've been running a
950MHz with 1 Gig of RAM for a WHILE now, and I am READY for some
speed now.
I had in mind to build a P4 3.0GHz and have been looking at the
HyperThreading technology. Heard it's great for memory hawgs like CFMX
and the like.
Anyone else using Intel HT technology? Any comments/suggestions
