Duo Core Processors

[Guest]

I read in a review of Vista (which was posted on this group) that Vista Home
& Premium does not support Duo Core processors, but VB & VU do, can anyone
explain what is meant by this statement?

Its misleading. duel core processors are when two processors are built into
one Bios chip, supposedly giving grater speed. Vista works with single or
double.

built into one Bios chip

Really?

 

[Richard G. Harper]

I have no idea what it means and it's tripe at any rate. All versions of
Vista support CoreDuo and Core2Duo processors just fine.

Hi,

Based on what I've learned, VB and VU are like XP Pro which can support up
to 2 physical processors (CPU) or two CPU sockets and each physical procssor
can have multiple "cores".

Due core or multi-core processors combine several cores into one package (or
die) and thuse become one physical processor and use one CPU socket, and in
theory, those cores work as independent processors (but still needs to
synchorize for final job completions).

For Home editions, it should support one physical procssor (socket) with
unlimited integrated cores, so Due Core should be fine, but I could be wrong


My 2 cents.

Its misleading. duel core processors are when two processors are built

into one Bios chip,

YOU are misleading big time!

DUAL not DUEL which means fighting!!

they are not built into a bios chip!!!

What are you telling this person?

DUAL CORE means 2 CPUs on one CHIP. One physical CPU. All versions of vista
can do that.

DUAL CPU is 2 physical CPU.
What he means with his question is that those versions cannot support 2
physical cpus...
in other words 2 seperate CPU chips on a dual cpu motherboard!

My question was not tripe, I was trying to clarify the meaning of the above
table as it was pointed out in a previous post to this group, it was not
intended to place any doubt on the capabilities of Vista.
My experience with Vista has been nothing but positive.
The previous post stated that Vista HB & P do not support more than one
processor, which I felt would confuse users without an proper explanation.
I would still like to know what the above table means?

Physical processor means processor SOCKET.

Core support means one socket multiple cores (Intel Core2 Duo, AMD X2, and the
new 4 core processors, and future multi-core processors that use ONE SOCKET).

I can't explain what was meant, but I can tell you that the statement
is absolutely wrong.

They do not support two *separate* processors, but all versions of
Vista support multiple-core processors.

I was trying to clairify it for you based on what I've learned and never
thought about anything else

 

[Richard G. Harper]

No, the advice you got was tripe; not your question. Any version of Vista
will support one processor SOCKET with as many CORES as the single socket
processor has. You only need advanced copies of Vista to support multiple
processor SOCKETS.

I apologize for the misinterpretation.

So Home Basic should support a quad core processor, as long as it's only 1
socket.

I have since carried out a detailed search and find on MS and other sites
and, the basic answer is, yes.
There is plenty of info around about the subject.
It does not say things will not work, but if you have a high end CPU and
using VB & VP you will not necessarily get the full value of such a CPU.
Anyway my curiosity is satisfied at this stage
