Who's "they?" Mine own eyes? I'm not going to round and round with you and Tony on this. Systems are more responsive because the OS can use both cores for its own processes and there are mainstream applications coming into the pipeline that you will need serious hardware to use. This is SOP in the history of software development: the software grows to take advantage of the excess capacity of the hardware. The Met HD example is only the first such example and is not something that is aimed at the "Gossip Girl" demographic. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
