It seems to me, that no one has yet replied to the original question:
should he change his CPU
From my point of view: no.
do you use some unix?
if not you'll not use the 64bits.
Even if you use it, it's not always true that a 64 bits COU is faster
than a 32 one, in some cases it's slower.
Danilo, a dual-core CPU has two processors sharing a Die and memory
interface. For all intents and purposes it is a dual-CPU SMP system and
the OS will see the seperate processors and treat it as such. This isn't
just a scheduling hack like Hyperthreading (Which also shows up as 2
CPU's to the

I think even those days are coming to an end. I used to upgrade our home
PCs every 18 months to two years (staggered, so the older machine could be
as much as four years old by the time it got replaced), but there's
panel LCD displays at this point.

I'm not so computer literate as I would like to be.
It is ahead of the software curve right now, Bill. You would be paying
for performance you can not yet use. Wait another year, software will
catch up, and prices will go down. Then send me the Athlon 3200+ (grin).

I'd quibble with that. 64bit is beyond the software curve, dual-core
isn't, and you'll definitely see performance advantages from a dual-core
system over a single-core single-CPU system.

1080i is downconverted from 1920x1200, which is what uncompressed HD is,
one of the big advantages of the 23 panels is they display uncompressed
