Rather interesting story Fred. My problem with all this multiple CPU stuff is the OS and more in particular the application software. In other words, how much is really coming out of the extra processing power ? Multiple processors means for me simultaneous processing. This is not just a hardware but a software task. Is AmiBroker taking advantage of these features ? I just do not see how this can be done ...
Ton.

Conroe will undoubtedly be the greatest thing since slice bread in
terms of a single CPU when it arrives ...
However, as far as obsoleting everything else is concerned ...
Assuming that AB will one day in the not too distant future take
advantage of multiple CPU's in a box for optimization, a new single
chip anything will hardly be faster then the 50+ ghz that could be
cranked out by boards like this ...
