Well I am loving this chip

Not even broken a sweat with it yet but have it at 3ghz.

Next stop Conroe, Im loving this dual core stuff

Fir some things it really gives a boost to the speed, to others it doesnt make any difference at all or is even negative.

Not sure about negative. I thought that was the argument of Hyper-threading.

I have found that as long as you make sure you make sure you run the right software its good.

I have been playing Quake 4 with the 1.2 patch with allows multi-threading and it is excellent. Whatever happened to the UD team TEK had?

As long as the clock speed is kept the same, there is no negative difference. There were with some dual CPU platforms as they generally had to use slower or registered RAM and had more conversative chipset timings to keep stable. However I dont think there are any performance losses with dual core platforms.

But otherwise, youre right, for most processes there is no speed boost. The main benefit is that you can run more than one intensive process at once.

very nice! is the multi locked? would be better @ 200mhz fsb

Thats one of those artic freezer coolers - supposedly does up to 200W and the memory is corsair PC6400
