i have seen AMD athlon dual core systems advertised at various places with win XP home; my understanding was that win XP home would only recognise one of the 2 cores and win XP Pro was essential for both cores to be operative; is this true? does the additional cache memory in the X2 4800 as compared to X2 4600 make any performance difference for computer chess? does having 2 GB of ram (2 x 1gb)have any advantage in running eng vs eng matches with ponder on as compared to having only 1 GB (2 x 512 mb)of ram bearing in mind that the fastest ram is as yet not avaiable in 1 gb modules. as a corollary is there any difference is chess performance with respect to ultrafast RAM with the fastest timinigs as opposed to ordinary value RAM? how much HDD space do all the 5 man EGTB and the avaiable 6 man EGTB occupy is it possible to run 2 chess programmes with ponder on eg a chessbase programme vs a lokasoft chess programme on the same computer using a null modem cable connected to each serial ports on the same computer? any answers will be appreciated.
