And it does have dual caches, as far as I understand it. I think the only difference compared to the Opteron is that the Opteron has a dual memory bus. A program won't see the difference and all SMP programs will run using both cores, and in almost all cases at the same efficiency. Fritz 9 *won't* use both cores, because it's not an SMP program. -- GCP
