As the title says, I just upgraded to a dual core proc from a single core version. Went with the 4400+ because of the speed and cache. Basically I got two of what I had with double the cache. The main reason for this was to help out with my SLI setup. I was noticing some major isses when trying to play COD2 at 1600x1200 in DirectX 9.
Well, now that I have got it, im not impressed with the performance in COD2 still. I might have gained about 5-10FPS but it still seems very laggy to me. Oh well, will just stick with DirectX 7 and my 500FPS.
As for other apps...haven't tested them all but I do notice a decent increase in overall windows response times. Things feel snappier to me now.
Oh and one more thing...with BOINC I can now run two instances of seti@home so that roxors!
