P.S. Thank you Capt Matt! I pronounce you sane.

Why thank you...sweet dreams

Guys, why not explain to jammydodger, if you can penetrate, that most software cannot divide the load between cores, and uses only one of the cores. The effective speed is, then, the speed of a single core.
It is unlikely that all cores will be run continuously, so multiplying the speed of a single core by the number of cores is silly. As is arguing over how it may be stated by the DxDiag or by a manufacturer.

Good Point

[Master Captain]

thanks mvsmith, for putting it nice and simple

And I hope this clears everything up, including Master Captain's mouth.

Wait so you realize that the "Official" way to state the processor speed is not by multiplying the cores?

That isn't what I'm saying. Yes I know that is a way it can be done. I still stand by my way of saying it. But what I was saying is that I've had enough of this thread and I'm not going to post in here ANYTHING about damned processors!
