Hi ,
If I buy myself the Pentium D 830 from Intel, would I need special software in order for the dual core to be active? This is still a mystery for me. I heard people claim that even if you have a Dual Core processor, if software does not support dual core technology , then it will only use one of it's cores to run software.
What are examples of software especially for a dual core, or do I have it all wrong. What would be the use in having a dual core processor if you can't really use it to date 2006 ????
Please advise me well, so I can decide to buy
Otherwise I am looking to get a Pen 4 630
thank you
Ralph
