I just built a system around this processor. I am using a BioStar SLI
board, one of their TF series.
I am still running XP Pro, 32bit version.
2 gig ram-
..75 tb hd.
I notice several things:
1-the system takes longer to boot than my old system running a an AMD
Athalon 2GIG.
2-IE 7 now has problems accessing secure web sites, https:// etc.
3-Programs do not run appreciably faster.
I have checked the clock speed and each processor is running at 3 GIG.
My questions are:
1-Will Win XP Pro take advantage of the dual core processors?
2-If so, can I customize it?
3-Should I manually choose one processor for one application, another
for another etc.
4-Would upgrading to XP Pro 64bit help even though most of my
applications are 32bit?
5BTW I will not upgrade to Vista.
Thanks
