"Perhaps you mean threads?"
I would assume so. So many people are content on thinking that threads == cores, when they really aren't. |

Oh wait, it says it has 4 cores and 8 processors. :S |

>more than 8GB of RAM
No.
Just no.
You'll never use it all unless you do a ton of video encoding or other
resource intensive tasks.
>Intel doesn't make an 8 core processor.
Yes they do, but it's generally not for the consumer market. It's a server quality
processor, it also only runs at 2.3GHz
If you really want cores, AMD offers 12 cores in a single processor chip.
>i7 980x EXTREME
Might aswell go with a Xeon 5690, practically the same as the 980, but
you can buy a dual soccket motherboard so you can put it another.
>Windows RAM limit
Windows 7 Home Premuim allows (by operating system), up to 16GB,
Win7Pro and up allow up to 192GB of RAM.
>huge SSDs
No.
Just no.
You should only really use a SDD for the operating system, and large files such as
games that you use often. |

I wonder when people will start using 128-bit processors. o.o |
|
|
Not that microprocessors are my field of expertise, but I doubt we'll see 128bit computers for many years. Maybe portions of the computer will trend towards 128bits, but I don't think we'll have full computers using 128bits for a quite some time. |

That's what they were saying for 32-bit computers when everyone only used 16-bit processors. |
|
|
Well I'm not old enough to know that :L
Anyway, we've only had 64 bit desktops for like 9 years. Why go for more so soon ? |

Well, 128-bit processors will probably be out in like, 15 - 30 years?
"640KB ought to be enough for anybody."
30 years ago. xD |

Idk. That's what it says if you go on Ubuntu >> System Monitor. |

"Idk. That's what it says if you go on Ubuntu >> System Monitor."
It thinks your logical cores are processors. Lololol. |

Well, At the time I am doing this on the Wii. I have the internet Channel. You can plug a USB Keyboard into the Wii so it wont take forever to type. It's Awesome. |

See my post.
When you have the freedom that 16GB of RAM grants you, you will rarely see your memory usage below 4GB. I'm almost always over 8GB. |

You don't add your speeds to get your total speed. |
