Feek Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 As you can see from my signature, I'm running an overclocked E6600 CPU on a Gigabyte 965P-DS3. This board supports quad core bugs so I'm thinking about swapping the E6600 for a Q6600 which I will try and overclock to the same level. Now I know that Leopard is fully multicore aware but is it aware enough for me to notice a performance jag from upgrading chips? I'd be interested to know if anyone has done this and noticed any improvement or just general thoughts.

Deomitrus Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I started a thread about this, take a look: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=100969 Basically I believe performance should increase, especially when encoding and rendering things. I didn't get a lot of technical information, but everyone said quad was better. So, yeah...
