Quad Core CPUs

I have a dual-core Intel cpu that powers my website which is written in Squeak Smalltalk. This is not even a Core 2 Duo machine which they say is blazingly fast. My computer is a garden-variety Intel Dual Core computer. When I bought it I thought it was sexy enough and I never knew about Core 2 Duo. That's why I got it, that the price was cheap worked in its favor. Everyone wants power and speed and I am no exception. Just today I was talking to someone about motherboards that support quad-core processors. The price is quite high, the quad, when compared to the prices being charged for Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I am really an AMD fan and I believe that AMD has an ass-kicking processor in the Opteron. I just get confused with the names. Local stores call everything AMD either an Athlon or a Sempron. I could not get anyone to talk to me about Opteron as though it does not exist at all.

Come into these sites: Squeak Smalltalk Adventure, The Ordinary Life, Politics: Divine Right of Kings and Presidents, Creation, Life, Consciousness.

So my Dual Core computer is way down low in the Intel pecking order which would tend to make it an underdog. At least subjectively speaking. Somehow, perception counts a lot when considering computers and deciding if you need a more powerful one.

Our favorites are: Ching's World, Green Tea, Dumaguete, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Moira Trinity Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Cebu are all in the Philippines in the world of Ching.
