I've got a fairly new Dell Inspiron 9400 w / Core Duo. Is this what you
are refering to with 'Core2'?
I've read Intels' comments about improved multi-tasking (threading?)
abilities w the Core Duo, but to me it just sounds like a bunch of new
buzzwords that I'm not quite able to decipher into a real
function/benefit matrix.
What changes does a developer like Tomasz have to make to their
software to take advantage of the new processors?
BTW... the Inspiron 9400 is nice, and the only problem I've experienced
(three times) is with the display adapter failing and causing a
horizontal shift a couple of dozen times on the display, requiring a
re-boot to straighten out. I've downloaded new Intel graphics card
driver sofware, but the infrequent problem still persists.
