2 processors ????

[MonGooS]

Hey guys was just reading about Vista. It says that Vista Ultimate supports 2 processors but Home Premium doesn't, does that mean Duel Core ???? And if so does that mean Duel core wont work on Home Premium ??

[MrDeVil_909]

No, it means 2 separate processors. AFAIK Intel Xeon and AMD Opterons can run in multi-cru configurations. Others might as well, there are others more knowledgeable than I around here.

A processor is the entire piece of electronic equipment. It is subdivided into different parts. The ALU (Arithmetic-Logic Unit), Registers, Cache and the CU (Control Unit). With a dual-core you have 2 of each, one for each core, bar the shared cache and register processors.

Now 2 processors will mean two silicon chips, whether they are dual-core or not. Examples are servers, like MrDevil mentioned the Intel Xeon and AMD Opterons are server chips.

Sweet thanks guys

For such an astute user of the English Language I would have thought one exclamation mark would have been enough.

Anger leads to hate, hatred leads to the dark side...

[Miktar]

Poor form, Gambit.

[Azimuth]

I'd also have preferred 'fastidious', or perhaps even 'punctilious', over 'astute' in that context.

[R4mzy]

Gah! Who cares, say what you wanna say, if you happen to not say it in perfect English, that's fine. As long as it's readable.
But I dnt mean spk lik dis, it a frm nt mxit

Oh BTW, off-topic. [/indifference]

[Miktar]

@R4mzy: DUAL does not mean DUEL. We don't expect perfect English, but honestly, how hard is it to understand that those two spellings mean to completely different things?

[Gldm]

For some reason this particular substitution drives my synesthesia crazy, and it's constantly all over the forums. I think it's because dual = gray-yellow-red-yellow (syllable macro:brown,red) and tastes like non-sweet BBQ sauce, and duel = gray-yellow-cyan-yellow (syllable macro:green) and has a metallic taste like fish. It's like 10x worse than 's plurals.


Re-reading that I get the feeling nobody will be able to understand what I'm talking about anyway.

You're right. How can colours have anything to with grammar/spelling?

OK. Like wow. I think it's safe to say that I don't suffer from Synesthesia.

I did and i still have no clue :)

You didn't read the whole thing, did you?
I didn't either. I just read enough till I could understand GLDM's post. :)

You need to read about 3or4 paragraphs.

z0mg. I have music > colour synaesthesia. I had absolutely no idea that was some sort of pathological condition.

[MrDeVil_909]

Lol, looks like Gldm is with duel/dual like I am with descent/decent. Which incidentally I haven't picked up in Nag this month, as yet. ;)

[Chevron]

What i hate is when people confuse effect and affect.

[MonGooS]

Hehe so much fuss over one wrong letter. Sorry btw I do not have the best spelling and I hear about it all the time from my friends I don't have an interest in spelling and as I am becoming a pilot spelling will be the least of my problems. I would rather spend time studying science or something that is enjoyable. PS. If is wasn't for the spell check on the post my spelling would be worse. :P

[MrDeVil_909]

It's amazing what an innocent post can start. It's like the Butterfly Effect.

[Toi]

^^ Good movie btw.

[Nimitz]

a pilot has to enter a lot of information into a log book
i would think proper spelling would help?

[Miktar]

Gldm actually has a pilots license and I've seen his logbook - his handwriting may be terrible, but the spelling is immaculate. :P

[Gldm]

z0mg. I have music > colour synaesthesia. I had absolutely no idea that was some sort of pathological condition.

I didn't know about it until around 2003 or so, until I saw a documentary about it on TV where they were going on about how people associate colors with letters and numbers. I thought everyone was like that.

After paying a lot more attention I've found virtually everything has full-sensory components for me but usually most of them are just suppressed unless I really concentrate. Usually only the primary and secondary ones are apparent, like letters->colors or sounds->colors, but the other channels like sound->texture are there too, usually just more muted. For some reason reading's secondary isn't sound but taste, so I have an easier time spotting written errors because they taste bad. Which is why things like dual/duel drive me crazy. It's like going to Steers and having a 50% chance they've substituted the patty in your cheeseburger with a fish-flavored marshmallow. After a few hundred times you'd probably wanna slap the guy doing it too.

If you're having trouble keeping sequences of letters straight you're going to have a really hard time trying to sort out airport and VOR identifier codes.

You should make a topic about it in Off-Topic and discuss it at length there. :)
