Just pricing up some Dell Optiplex GX520's at work.. nothing fancy, their mainstream base unit and the cheapest non-celery CPU option is a Pentium Dual core :eek:

Also looking at laptops and theyre all dual core too!... madness

but you know what it means doncha.... twice the folding powerrrr

oh yes, i am so glad that dual core is taking off in the home market. It makes mores snese then trying to grab more mhz each time they release a processor. They were starting to reach a brickwall with speed increases anyway. Just wondering how long until we have quad core machine now.
