Go up one level in this thread


You programmers have it all wrong. Most of us just find at the moment dual's are
a tad too costly for us (users), But man that is changing fast...I guarantee you
that for example, Tiger comes out dual and shows a real play improvemrnt, this
would probobly push users like me over the hump. I am almost there now except I
am not yet really convinced that a dual such as Fritz is very much better. Make
any sense ?  From my memory Dr Hyatt claims that duals are no where near 2x
faster... perhaps at best 1.75x faster. At the moment  AMD and Intel are on a
higher speed curve in power than that, in my opinion. The end direction will be
duals, I really believe that sooner or later you all will be programming duals N
years from now , so why not get started now ?
Thanks
