pugetsystems.com— Will multiple processors or a dual core processor be beneficial to you, and what are the differences between them? These are the questions this article will attempt to lay to rest.

I'm suprised the memory tests weren't better for dual processors. Dual core is actually better at IO than dual processor? Wouldn't dual processors have more physical lanes on the board, allowing for more bandwidith?
I feel the article is bias towards the intel side, because the Athlon X2 clearly beat out the intel chip, unless I read it worng, which I may very well have due to tirdness and no caffeine. The article however was still very informative. +digg
The dual processor board was using ECC memory (slower)plus, I don't think he said, but NUMA (non uniform memory access) comes into play. 2 cpus (chips, not cores) means that you have to worry about where in memory (which CPU controls which bank) what you are accessing lies.
Maybe you got modded down 'cause you are the idiot? That sentence nowhere implies, that scheduling is a Windows only concept. It just states, that there is a thing called scheduler in the system. But after your comment, you and your mad computer science skills have zero credibility left.

I take it that his technical ineptness is shared by all the retards that modded the comment down. That is to be expected on an Apple fan site.
