anyone got a dual core system yet?
 

I was at frys and saw they have both intel and amd versions for sale and am planning to get one.

I think the amd 4000 or 4200 was around $400-500 for the chip and another $150-200 for a board.

Sucks that I have to buy a pci express card though, since I have a great agp dual dvi card.

Just picked one up (intel).. $599 for the 3.2Ghz Proc. (ouch)

with 3 X 250 Gig SATA drives

The video card is a bummer.. Ended up getting the ATI Radeon X800XL PCI Express 256MB video card
:thumbsup

Let us know how it goes. I'm not convinced it's worth the price unless you can assign processes like you can with hyperthreading.

My next system which I will need soon will probably be a new Dell desktop with dual-core processors to edit HD video with and also to batch encode video files with Cleaner XL.
