OPTiK Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hey guys! I just got a Dual Core 805 system a while back and so far I have only found one peice of software that uses the second core. That was Adobe Premiere. Do any of you know any other apps that take advantage of Dual Core processor? So far I am quite dissapointed with this 805. My old AMD A-XP was comparible in speed. Real speed that that is, not benchmarked. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13791-dual-core-apps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrunner Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 You will notice the performance boost in multitasking if you have a reasonable amount of fast memory. You will see a difference in video encoding as well such as DVDshrink. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/273415 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13791-dual-core-apps/#findComment-88346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPTiK Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks thrunner. I was thinking the same thing. Just wanted to be sure on what to expect from this machine that I have. So my OS (windows) does not take advantage of dual core processors? only when multi-tasking?
