if I have two CPU's can I nef in two threads at once?

[thomsbrain]

that's what multi-threading is, right?

 

[aphex]

uhmmmmm

 

[Antoneo]

uhh... you are kidding right?

With two CPUs you can rip audio, encode MP3's, crack Seti WU's, surf ATOT, & chat on AIM without slowing down in the slightest.

Viper GTS <-- Loves his SMP system

 

[samgau]

haha.. good one... and of course you would be literally right....

 

[b0mbrman]

Oh Lord

I have to agree with you there, the robustness of my dual rig amazes me

i think he was kidding with this thread. or a least i hope he was!

That's what I love most about this system, although a single OC'd P4 may be faster for gaming, my dual TBirds are hard to beat for sheer versatility.

I think I'm finally going to upgrade to dual 1800+'s, I'm going to a MS event & I'll pick up a free copy of XP Pro so I'll upgrade CPUs & OS at the same time. Should be a big performance boost over my dual 1200 TBirds.

and i could do all of those thing on my uniprocessor machine...ha

 

[Spendthrift]

only if you have two monitors so you can simultaneouly read both threads.

you should see what a Quad PIII 1.2 GHz with 2GB of RAM can do. Ohhhhhh myyyyyyy

 

[DanFungus]

wow

 

[kazeakuma]

In response to the original question, no. Unfortunately the forums aren't SMP capable so you wouldn't be able to open 2 instances of the forums without a large performance hit.

Too bad you can't run 2K Pro on that.



Viper GTS <-- Would love a quad processor system

only if you have 2 eyes to concentrate on two monitors

vipergts

what motherboard are you running? would you buy it again or recommend a different one?

 

[ThaGrandCow]

no but you could nef in a single thread twice as fast

 

[Viper GTS]

<< vipergts

Tyan Tiger MP, & I would most definitely buy it again.

It has no frills, it's just your basic 6 PCI/1 AGP/2 CPU motherboard. Only two IDE channels, no sound/video/LAN/etc, etc. But it's cheap ($200), stable, & I want to be able to choose my own add-ons.

[Spendthrift]

thanx, ill add that to my want list

 

[burnedout]

Two CPUs is da bomb! So smooth.

(Dual PIII 1 GHz here) (Dual 533 MHz Celeron here) (Dual PII 400 MHz) (Dual Celeron 333 MHz here) (Dual PPro 200 MHz here)

<-----------------------------<

Yes, quads are neat too.

(Quad Ross 125 MHz hyperSPARC here) (Quad Ross 40 MHz "vewy slow" 1st Generation here)

 

[udonoogen]

cheese. =) bwahahaha
