I'm not flaming him over processors, just his ignorance and spreading of misinformation.

Is my spelling ok for you now ??

Basically lol @ the thread title, i just thought it was funny

Your spelling is fine now, thanks. As to your question about both games running at the same time, did you read my op completely? If you did you would see that I said I alt tabbed out, and if you don't know what alt tabbing does then I really can't help you.

Hella ghey.

How in the world do you use your mouse in both games?

I hate anything beta. Yes, multi-cores are the way to go IN THE FUTURE but those who often tout the dual cores don't often mention all the bizarre problems that many people have reported.

I'm not the kind of guy who wants to set any settings just to play certain games. Hell, my brother went back to Win98SE because he wanted to play his favorite game. It wouldn't play in WinXP even in Win98SE compatibility mode.

I hope you are not serious when you asked about using my mouse in both games. I ALT TABBED OUT. That means that I hit the alt key and the tab key at the same time, which minimized World of warcraft. Then I started BF2 and played a round on that game. Then I hit alt tab again to go back and see what world of warcraft was doing.

I have not had one single problem with my X2, probably because I installed the X2 drivers. I have not had to change any settings to play certain games, so I am not quite sure what you are referring to there. I think pretty much all the problems that people have had are because they didn't install the correct drivers, but I could be wrong.

If you read the last line in my op, you would see that I said "If you have $350 to spend on a processor get a dual core"

Getting emotional are we?

Hello Houston, we have a problem.

:haha:

I still wanna see Anand's take on it. After all, he did say he wanted to investigate the issues on dual cores further. But, I'm not gonna rely on the opinion of someone who gets that emotional about it. Dood, it's objective, not subjective. Processors are real. They are not up to interpretation.

The only people that say to not get dual core are people with single core.

My second computer at home, and my work computer are both single core with HT, and they suck compared to dual core. I will never, ever waste money on single core again- never.

People saying not to get it base all of their information on what some dude in a message board told them, or some random review or whatever- NOT because of their real world experience with it.

I have both and have used both extensively, and people like me ALL recommend dual core.

Well since the mmorpg i am waiting for in mid 2006 is going to be have support for dual core processors.. well it does now because the CEO has already been running it on a intel 840 D 3.6EE and no issues. They are also adding more support from now till release.

Since I am building a pc for this game and future games coming why the heck shouldnt I go X2? There is zero reason. I am not, and i think alot of others are in the same boat, building these machines to play OLDER GAMES better. We are building them to play future games better.

Just to add. If you cant afford a X2 right now then dont get one. However Some of us have pushed our old 1.2 Thunderbirds stuck at 100/100 because ECS K7S5A has indefinite bios issues to the limit and plan to build a damn good pc. With all the talk about M2 in 2006 and new archie in 2007 for DDR3 for AMD, New OS Vista with DX10, and SLI vs Dual vga cards on the horizons I am going to stick my guns to current proven far above current software hardware that is going for pretty damn cheap right now.

My opinion however.. nothing more.

probably shouldnt get a s939 dual core. by then, 939 will be dead.

When is the replacement for 939 coming out?

Yes I did read your op, and I know it is blatantly obvious that you had Alt Tabbed, however, this does not mean that the other game is idle whilst not in use :disgust: and like I said ?I wasn?t aware that the windows API (DX9) is able to run TWO concurrent games at the same time? in fact I was pretty sure that it could not, so that?s why I questioned.

Lol and don?t patronise me n00b.

EDIT: and the thread is still gay, it has no discussion points, its just you making a statement this is why it has veered so off topic :roll:

Well, since I have two of them I can be objective, since I also use single cores, and Dual opterons. Also, Duvie, like me has 2 X2's and he used to have a P4 with HT. He swaers by the X2 also, and has posted threads about this supposed problem, and the conclusion was, no problem if you install the software correctly. So leaving the Apple, and the Intel out of it, and people who can;t install the software, show be ONE site like Anandtech (not some off the wall place) that says there is a problem with the processor, that is not solved by installing the OS and the drivers correctly. Not just a thread from some kid that can't get his computer working correctly.

If this thread is so ghey, why do you keep coming back here? I started this thread to help people that are in the situation that I was in, not so people like you could come here and thread crap. I was under the impression that these forums were here to help people and have mature discussions. The posters on this site helped me greatly while I was building my first rig. While I do see the occasional know it all like yourself, most people here are very helpful. Even people that are obviously experts will help out obvious noobs with noob questions. And lastly, I find it a bit ironic that you call me a noob just after saying that you werent aware that windows could run 2 games at the same time, after I stated that I just did it. By the way, I admitted that I was a noob a few posts back. Do you flame the other daily discussions on dual vs. single core?

Thanks for the info...so no use in waiting around really, as something bigger/better is ALWAYS coming out...just wondering if it was right around the corner/couple months away.

You bore me, and i dont have to justify myself to you!

However,

I find it a bit ironic that you call me a noob just after saying that you werent aware that windows could run 2 games at the same time, after I stated that I just did it

you miss read the context in which i had already posted.

EDIT: Oh and i didn?t think the windows API is capable of running two concurrent games, are you sure that you were running both WoW and BF2 at the same time

it was actually a statement of my thoughts, maybe i should have put an ! at the end of that statement.

To break it down i tried to portray the fact that i had my doubts on you actually running two games simultaneously, since i was under the impression that the DX9/OpenGL API's are only capable of running one game on these API models, and therefore it was not a case of enlightenment.

Moving on, i will be mature and apologise for my comments on this thread, although i still think it is a pointless thread, its just your approach to telling everyone that you love dual cores that made me laugh.

The amount that the OP knows about "DUAL CORE!!" can be described as "using both hands to stroke his e-Penis"

- M4H

 

[zorrt]

for the OP, nothing is wrong with dual core, what people mean is that no game is using it as of yet so a single core is still good enough.

And yea no point waiting around, cuz tech updates inself really fast, so if you wait for the dual core to drop its price, the only time that would happen is when a newer tech comes out and then u'll want the newer tech and wait for that to drop its price, in the end u'll be waitin endlessly. Might as well get what you can afford and what suits your need right at this point.

But Nvidia has drivers that use dual-core. You should be interested in that.

I would be but prefer the game to be making use of the dual core.

Then why do you even bother to post here and stir sh!t up?

 

[zorrt]

OP and mark hope you didnt get offended by anything I said. OP I just said that to explain why people say single core is good enough not flaming you in any way.

doc2345....go flame someone else's comment

btw guys, i have nothing against dual cores, i think its a great movement esp once games start using them

so technically i didnt stir anything up. I was just replying to markfw900 and saying why i'm not interested in nvidia having drivers which utilise dual core when the game in itself isnt using it. My console reference is related to this thread as they all utilise dual core setup and the game will utilise that too.

But just so that you dont cry ill edit out that part. cheers!

Whether the game itself is multithreaded or not, it is a tangible performance increase.

Mis-quote, I did NOT say that. Check your post.
