No, I didn't miss that, but I don't agree with that assessment. Having a system with less wait time to execute functions is well worth it in my book. Those seconds add up and an app doesn't have to explictly coded to work on multi-core for you to benefit. The OS is and will act accordingly. I dread working on my older P4 Dell Optiplex systems as I know I'll be waiting for things that just happen on my AMD dual-core Dell Optiplexes, which are "office" systems. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
