Ill tell you guys I have a 3.2ee P4, a dual core 2.4ghz 90nm AMD and a
q6600 2.4ghz. Honestly no kidding aside I dont see any difference in
the processors except when I am telling it to do many task at the same
time which is rarely. The difference is so minimal to the naked eye.
Benchmarks right now that say 20% faster etc. in this and that may
seem like wow so much better but in real time it only translate to at
most 3 secs. and most of the time it is under 1 sec difference!
Only benefit for quad is for graphic editing or video editing but if
that is all you do then you should even consider a cheaper dual quad
core server part over a 3ghz $1000 processor. You can soon get
probably a dual quad xeon or opteron for that price.
People are just naive most of the tiem that is why I wont be upgrading
to penryn.
