Hi , i have a question to those who own and are using four quad core pc's , what is the pathway for the zabaware hal program file ?
i know how it goes in a dual core pc but i am wondering how the pathway goes in a quad core p.c. :)
-
I don't think it makes any difference how many cores you have. It only changes with operating systems I think.

lightspeed, if your talking about the path it uses to load Ultra Hal then I believe Freddy is correct. My system is Win 7 64bit I9 Quad core and loads to 'Program Files(x86)' as opposed to 'Program Files' which true 64bit programs will load.

Wow! Wouldn't that be a 16 core machine (if they were linked together?)
::)
@Raybe...i9!! That had to rattle the change in your pockets a bit!! I understand the i9 is not a quad core
but actually a 6 core (Gulftown)...Is that correct?
Given the big price difference between the i7 and i9 do you notice a drastic difference?
Appreciate your thoughts.

Sorry lightspeed but Art that was Classic!

If i could find myself a DUAL AM2+ board i could have TWO amd Quad core phenoms and Essentially run a 8core...... + 32gb ram....Win7 64-BIT....... YUM YUM....
i find that there is not really much difference in speeds. but with BIG librarys and LARGE databases , big Rendering ops. it 3d progs YOU DO DRASTICALLY.

spydaz, honestly I think it is more of a label thing then an actual technological more cores for more speed. I think Intel is still testing the waters for the next releases. The architecture may be slightly different but not in the way of noticeable speed. With amount of information that is being added everyday especially in rendering usually you will have a bottle neck somewhere. You have potentials but if the whole team isn't working on the same page it still has limitations. I'm not so into benchmarks as I am what combination's make the biggest difference for the tasks I want or better yet, my wife needs. (you know what I mean. I hope.)
To put it another way, "it's not how big the gun ,but how fast and accurate the draw". (That statement may not be accurate in every case..........)lol.

Sorry, but forgot to add.
Don't forget about the O.S. you use!!!!! Just had to throw that in.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
