Doug, You could've made the exact same argument about dual core chips vs. single core. At that time, single core chips didn't collapse to the levels Intel is proposing them to collapse. SC chips were introduced in 2005, and the pricing didn't collapse until 2006, a year later. What I was critical of was that AMD capped the normal SC chips (non-FX) at 2.4 GHz, while SC chips were capable of reaching 3.0 GHz. I don't know what DC Conroe is capable of, regarding clock speeds, but if I were in a market for a high speed CPU in Q3, with $900 budget, I would much rather chose a 3.4 GHz Conroe than 2.6 or 2.9 GHz Kentsfield. As far as usage of DC processors, the most perceptible one I have found is where a weird pringing bug in Windows stalled my PC under SC, but it no longer does that in DC. DC has most likely worked around some deadlock. As before, on a rare occasion when my PC crawls to a near standstill, it is because the HD is bottleneck. Joe
