What are you doing to me? Now I want to play it all over again 🙁 I just wish I had a machine to run it, the most powerful I have ATM is Athlon 3200+...
How do you deal with it?
For a main machine, once you go multicore you never go back.
Things just don't run smoothly on single core processors anymore.
In fact I am likely going to buy a C2Q to replace my C2D
Oh, I do fine 😀 Most internet stuff works okay and I've got C2D-E6300 in the kitchen for movies (great CPU in an otherwise silly machine) and a Core i5-3450 at work for calculations. My main Q6700 rig is stuffed in an Ikea crate waiting for the new case - there's a local guy who's got a great case and is selling it once he gets his new one from ebay... Two months ago we established a deal, the first case he ordered got lost in the mail, now he ordered the new one and I have no idea when he gets it. Not that I'm unhappy 😀 3200+ has a lot of muscle for such an old single-core machine.
