and yes thats with all modern os's, from *nix, win32, win64, solaris, you name it.
alot of what transpires inside the cpu is still handled on a single core basis.

I never said it does.... the bulk of the applications you'll see nearly no gains in speed. You'll have pretty nice overall gains if you're a big multi tasker like me. I was just making a point that 10Ghz IS here, count the cores ;)
