any1 here had dua and quad core processor ?
and when u play l2 if the ghz are same there is there a big diference ?
and where u see it most ?

i couldn't resist i've voted 4 hardcore!!!

i have dual core in my room and core 2 duo in the notebook, and i don't find great differences.... afaik this 2 processors are different... but i'm not really sure

core 2 duo is 2 dual cores in 1 = 4 cores .. but isnt same like quad core
anyway thx for reply

It does like this.

Quad cores are not WAY better for gaming, contrary to popular belief. Why? Most new games only support two cores, so only two cores will be assigned for the game. The other two cores may be used by windows for other processes. The only way a quad core vs a dual-core will help the processes of a game is only by relieving the amount of calculations for the operating system. And that's just a very low increase in performance.

And as I've heard, windows xp sp2 can only keep 2 threads functional, so bye quad-cores for sp2. I think this issue and the maximum RAM of 2.3 GB issue were fixed in sp3. But I'm not sure.

Don't go for quads... They're not worth it, not even now.

im interested only in l2 for next ~3 years
i have xp sp3 and i think i will use it on the new pc too
what u mean with 2.3gb ram max lol ? that sux hard

10 bit nintendo processor rlz

what should i say to this ?

yoy should buy it only 5$ maybe even less

i know u can be a good guy dont spam on my topic ^^

okai

FUKING AGREE HERE
man i know a dude that rly knows many things about that crap and imagine..
even with bios tunning u cant make some games use more than 1 core
u can ofc make other programs transfer to a different core
for example video formating takes gigaloadz of ur CPU and u can divide itD: when cpu usage goes up to 50% u get the other core activated and now u dont get to max cpu usage on the first
but still software has to run after the hardware for kilometers to support perfectly the newer machines

i have hardcore 1.6 ghz amd
ofc single core
imagine wtf happens when i port to giran on dex for example..
i cant move
my pc has l2 program "not responding" on the task manager

@icarus btw u know that there IS a way of making 2+gb random access memory work properly on win XP ?:D
there are system files of VISTA that get copied to the XP files and tadam u have something of the sort of 8 gb ram working on good old XP BUT u have a penalty:Dsystem loading takes 1-2 minutes longer:D
btw the same dude told me that there is new windows edition
WINDOWS 7
and it works PERFECTLY even better than vista and in his opinion its better than XP

lol why u lag in giran ?
on ma server there is 10x more ppl in aden than in giran and i have 2 hardcore 3ghz atm but i lag only on teleport and than works normaly

man i dont lag
my pc goes crazy
not responding l2 client:D
i cant even move when i port to giran
ask icarus how many times i have asked him to get me outta fuking giran cuz simply i cant move/chat/cast skills/soe/use unstuck/whatever else u can imagine

my pc just cant handel it

he could be lagin becouse
1 bad internets
2 failpc
