For those of you that do scientific computing (CFD, monte carlo, etc...), would you prefer a dual core system or a dual CPU system?
The reason I ask is most computational simulations aren't optimized for HT or MT CPUs, so the benefit of dual core in this situation seems negligible. (If this is not so, please correct me.)
Also, if the benefits of both are high, would a dual 'dual core CPU' be worth the price increase?
