Well theoretically you should gain some with the full 64 bit memory paths in the processor ... But it looks like whatever gain there might be is lost with poor software design. Multithreading also needs some real attention before multiple processor chips is going to mean much to average users. Now they just seem to idle along.

I have been using UNIX since well since, OK, I forgot ... I did meet with Dennis Ritchie back in the old days at AT&T trying to convince him and others to let UNIX go, but AT&T was determined to try and make money off it. Bad move ...

Tagline works ... LOL.
