right heres a question thats bin bugging me (well 2 really)
is it possible for a P4 to outdo a C2D if a program isnt made for dual core processors so it cant use all the power of it.
can second life use dual core CPU's Properly
heres why i ask. my mates computer specs are
Pentium 4 3.2Ghz With HT
2GB RAM 667Mhz
7100GS graphics card
Asus motherboard
my girlfriends brothers specs r
C2D e6320 1.86Ghz
2GB RAM 667Mhz
7300LE graphics card
Same asus motherboard
and my mate with the P4 can run 13 second lifes and my G/F's brother can only run 7 (forget asking y they need so many)
is it possible that second life cant utilise both cores so its using the full 3.2Ghz of the P4 but only half of the C2D which (although u cnt really clock C2D's on single core speeds) should be about 3Ghz ish so its running better on the P4
also the C2D machine has a better graphics card so.... whats going on here
theres no doubt that the C2D machine is better coz once he has 7 Second lifes he can run his pc smoothly like nothing else is running where as the P4 takes bout 15 seconds to load thr start menu and like 15 mins to load IE. the C2D will load up numerous IE and play music videos everything perfect.
so whats going on here
