    multi-processor system

    what i want to say is that there is a difference between single socket dual core processor and dual socket single core processor... i just wanna know why having 4 processors on one machine doesnt speed up games... the real reason, not just "because they dont use it"...

    i just cant understand why multi processor systems are not better for games then single processor systems... the logic thing would be that if you have more processors, your system runs faster and your games run faster....

    sorry, my english is not that good. i read this article and in the conclusion he says that conroe will do fine with the value line. but it will lose performance with pc5300 or it will only loose performance going from 5300 to 4200?
