Joe, re: "If there is absolutely no way for the computer to use the second CPU , it is reasonable to expect the 2P 760MPX system to be slower" I agree... however the THG review in question I think you would have to replace "computer" with "reviewer" in the sentence above. Other sites have been able to demonstrate benefits from 2P systems using the same benchmarks that THG could not. Anandtech had no problem with gaining from 2P for linux compile (760MP here: anandtech.com and 760MPX here: anandtech.com. The 760MP article even presented an interesting exploration of results for the number of threads of a linux compile. A quality review shouldn't just try to get a number (or create a page) without providing some analysis of what the result means. -PT
