The current marketing hype surrounding the two major CPU manufacturers, would have us believe that upgrading, or purchasing these latest chips is crucial, and that we will be able to do so much more.
And yet no one in the 'consumer' software industry seems to be embracing these technologies.
MS Vista, for all it's bells and whistles, is still only 32bit, with 64 bit available for a premium,(Price aswell as driver issues)
Pretty much the same can be said about the requirement to have Dual Cores.
So my question is, why bother to go 64bit dual core when there is hardly any software that will make use of it, outside Professional applications (AutoCad, & Adobe suites)?
PS. Just bought an AMD64 x2 3800 and not noted much difference over AMD64 3200.
