Winterlight,
EXCUZZZZ ME!!!!!!!!!!
NO I have NEVER forgotten what this august group is all about.
Not ever, never will, nope!
Please got back and read your 2d para again. For, oh so many years,
most of our discourse has been PRICE over Eng/Coolness/Tech/IWANTIT!
I've read, learned, filed, studied....... Thankfully, there are still
some "I don't care......" members left. I'd like to think that I still
can play; once it a while!!!........... LOL!
ROFL...... L)
Best,
Duncan

I know exactly what he means and that is my reason for getting I7 over
the I5. For 80 bucks I get Hyperthreading which appears on the task
manager as a core. So a Quadcore with HT would appear on Task manager as
8 CPUs.. which is cool, and worth the extra 80 bucks to me... and it is
useful when video encoding.
Duncan sometimes you forget that this is a Hardware group for tech heads
and nerds and performance tweakers who don't give a damn about cost to
value. Not the coupon clipping housewife geriatric list who can't see
why they need to upgrade their PIIIs running Win98.
So yeah, 8 cores on the taskmanager is cool man! And a good enough
reason for me.

Zul,
I know you are a heavy user, but please explain the "8 threads in the
task mangler." I am confused. Why is this important or even germain
to Winterlight's question? How is this "work-in-my-home" related?
Best,
Duncan

Actually if you look at performance per watt ratings the i5 does
better. I just bought an i7 so I could see 8 threads in task
manager.

My 2nd PCs motherboard has apparently died so I am looking at a
upgrade, motherboard, ram and CPU. The I5 is the cheapest at 200 but
there is a 800 series I7 for 80 bucks more... why wouldn't I want to
go with the I7>
It is getting so you need to take a class to figure out Intel /AMD
CPU lines.
