A 2nd Core to Keep Windows Chugging Along?
Eh-Wire writes "Almost every hardware junkie I know would give most anything to take a spin in the new dual core hot rods from Dell or one of the custom system builders. But what if you actually needed that second core to run your anti-virus, spyware detection software and firewall just to get a little gaming or Internet surfing done on the first core. Would that really be a good reason to bring home a shiny new machine? I can think of a couple of different things I could use a second core for but running an iron lung on it just to keep the machine chugging along just isn't one of them. Curiously enough, PCMag thinks that's a perfectly good reason."
What about gaming applications with both cores? Couldn't this allow things like more intense physics engines to run on the second core?
Damn, slashdot is ripe with dumbasses today.

How's your karma?
You can't tell?
is it being used to hide all your posts from everyone, or is it boosting your posts beyond the anonymous coward filters most people have set?
No. If I were going to do anything like that I would get a sockpuppet and perform from that venue.
Or did you respond to me as an AC because you stay awake at night worrying about your precious karma, unable to risk 'geomon's' enourmous reputation?
I'm posting under my account. I have haven't quite figured out why you keep referring to me as an AC.
Doesn't my name appear above my posts when you view them?
Don't care? Then why post at all? Just to hear yourself talk to yourself?

Now tell me who is talking to themselves.
