I am looking at various computer parts for the day that my ship sails in and I can afford to build myself a new system...not holding my breath for anytime soon though.
I have run into something that I have wondered about for a while. Dual core and Quad core processors and their clock speeds. One MOBO and Processor combo I am looking at, just window browsing, come with a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Processor with a clock speed of 2.66Ghz. Is that total clock speed, or speed of each independent core?
My current system has a P4 3.0gig single core processor. How much more processing power would the Q9400 have over my current P4? How much of the Q9400 would Windows XP 32-bit be able to use? How about FS9 and CFS2?
