I upgraded from a tnt2 ultra to the GF4 TI4600. I have noticed a nice improvement on my box (gaming box) Its a IBM x335 dual 2.4 GHZ Xeon with 4GB of ddr ram.

So, you are saying you ran a dual 2.5GHZ/4GB ram machine with an TNT2 ULTRA?

Somehow I think you set your upgrading priorities wrong :)

I know this may seem like a stupid question but is has to asked...

Exactly how many games use that second processor?

Or does the term "Gaming Box" cover all things server, CAD, and arms-race control master commander. All at once of course.

2 cpu's are only really usefull in gaming when you run a server, but you also need at least 1meg connection to make this worthwhile

some games actually are capable of using "multithreading" (2 procs) but the supply is uberly limited.

its usually something for geeks.

Some servers also use it. But then again, you'd need a very though line to actually make it worthwhile.

DB servers use it a lot. they need to perform lots of calculations etc :yes: for normal usage its not worth it as not all programs use the second processor. Dunno if windows 2 proc version performs load balancing automatically for all progs

anyways to get back on topic: Geforce FX here i come :)

It will probably be available here pretty quickly. Unlike software, hardware tends to come a lot quicker to europe aswell.

Thats my experience about it, at least :)
