k, i got this work computer from my dad, and
1. not too familiar w its performance
2. never had much need to worry about performance untill now, and i check my device manager and
it says
Processors:
Intel xeon cpu 3.20GHz
Intel xeon cpu 3.20GHz
Intel xeon cpu 3.20GHz
Intel xeon cpu 3.20GHz
NOW...
is this just a cruel joke? is that four TIMES 3.2?
or is it just 3.2 repeated four times for no reason other than to get my hopes up?
i am used to bad luck in life, especially cruel cruel jokes handed to me right from cosmos itself, so i dare not unleash my tears of joy untill i have it confirmed, or disconfirmed :I
my click-my-computer box says 3.2 and 3.19, but nothing more, which also confused me, so i checked my device manager, only to be further confused :I
-
Sounds like a dual xeon setup (Dell perhaps?). So you have 2, but due to hyperthreading each one will show 2 enteries.
-
Yeah, two dual cores running in tandem.
(says GA)

Just mail it to me and i'll take a look at it. I'll most likely not mail it back, because its not my responsibility if it gets "lost" or something.

ah, so a mix between what i feared and what i hoped :D
its still good news for me, cool! :D

Xeon processors are usually used in servers. It is probably is 2 different dual cores running together. I don't think it is a quad core. Xeon processors are pretty beefy on their own IIRC.

good, i suspected as much, but didnt quite dare hope.
when i got it, it had everything except graphics card, so i got myself a relatively kickass one, and finally got the computer i needed to install my little minimum of "must have"'s to make my boring life a bit more tolerable :zoinks:
