Q6600

Post by OSULLY »

Interesting, the SMP beta does use all four cores. Thats why when I tried running two, I didnt produce work any faster. Although I'm still vauge on the use of the video card. I believe the smp is cpu intensive, wich is all that matters.

the gpu version can crunch certain units faster cause gpu's are better at floating point calculations. where cpu's are better with integer's. i think
