| Guest | Quad core and W.L.M. Is there any advantage to using a quad-core processor over a dual-core when using W.L.M.? From what I understand, W.L.M. is threaded and would benefit from using a dual-core, but I was wondering if a quad-core would be even better with W.L.M. than a dual-core. |

What on Earth do you need a dual-core, let alone a quad-core. processor to run a program like Messenger for? Is it a particularly busy version of Messenger? Does it deal with lots of information, that other Messengers don't? Of course it will run faster, but you won't notice any difference because it's not a slow piece of software to start with. |

| Guest | Re: Quad core and W.L.M. well, it runs a little choppy now on my Intel Pentium 4 @3GHz with Hyper-Threading Technology single-core processor when I do a video and audio chat, so I was hoping to see improvements with my next build in which I am trying to decide between a dual-core or quad-core processor. W.L.M. (with the video/audio chat) is one program which is critical for me which I use because that is how I frequently communicate with my 3 sisters who all live in different states so if a quad-core will make it perform better than a dual-core it might help me lean towards getting the quad-core.

| Guest | Re: Quad core and W.L.M. Greetings, Yes, a little bit -- but quad-core isn't going to change your Messenger experience very much. The performance of general stuff (opening windows, typing, etc.) won't change at all. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "thebigdintexas" <thebigdintexas@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:187EA8D4-14E1-4833-978A-679457EA3471@xxxxxx
