Some stuff can take advantage, many more things can not. Multitasking is its main selling point right now.

Be prepared to buy a 120000 watt psu thats the minimum required to run a dual core cpu at 300 ghz

So...confused...waddupmm said:
Anyway, AFAIK games don't get any boost yet, as they remain single threaded. I'm sure that will change in a few years though.
For now, I'de stick with Venice/San Diego for games.

Clock for clock X2 will beat Venice, and probably barely behind San Diego. I would go with X2 if you have the budget.

Just for the sake of clarity, you're talking about the Toledo being comparable to the San Diego for things like single-threaded games, right Sucka? A Manchester would do only about as much clock for clock as a Venice, as it's essentially two Venice cores on the same memory controller.Sucka said:

can you leave a CPU intensive task such as video encoding running on one core while you game on the other? (assuming there's enough RAM)
most people probably won't try to do both at the same time but I'm just wondering

Yes, without any problems.

During gaming, the 4400+ will run like P4 3.8Ghz+, not even overclock. If the computer is also processing the video encoding or folding while you are playing game, it will run up to 2x faster. That is sweet.

I'm more than happy with my X2 4400+. If anything, I think I need another gig of ram to take full-advantage of this cpu.

Yeah, pretty much. Perhaps SD would hold a slight clock for clock advantage, but not much if any.

I currently have my athlon x2 5800 running at 46.77ghz with a 500gig raptor 15k rpm, 2 gigs of ddr 2ghz 1-1-1-2 timings, with 2 10,800 ultas in sli at 3ghz/12ghz
