[Chronictank]

if your having issues download the windows dual core driver,
you can prolly find it on the intel page

i havent tried frapsing while dual logging, but as you would expect fraps with 1 account was smooth as hell
and yes, DR windowed max gfx

What ram/mb/gfx you using with the duo?

 

[fl3a]

i dont know if you were asking me, but

asus p5w dh deluxe mobo
2x1gb kingston 667 mhz ram (i had ordered it when i was going to get a mobo that only supports 667mhz but then went for the current one)
asus en7900gt top gfx card (which broke on the 2nd day and which i am trying to get replaced)

I got a 3.0 ATI Radeon Pro and 1gb of RAM. DR lags from time to time in 1600x1200. But I can duallog if I need to. Hope that helps abit atleast.

Anyone see any problems with it?

 

[Luinmir]

One thing you can do is Disable 1 of the CPu... When starting the game or are in the game go to Windows and do Alt+Ctrl+Del så you get your taskbar up.
Not sure what it called in english but its the Second flip with all Process, Find Game.dll and rightclick, Far down that list, last one is what you chose.

Disable one CPU and Play the game ... Work find for me.

There's one, right there. get yourself a Western Digital 16MB cache HDD instead - faster seek times and more reliable.

From overlcockers: Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-046-WD) - £53 inc VAT, win.

oO thanks for that! Anything else?

EDIT: Whats the windows installation like now with SATA drives? Still tricky or straight forward?

Did one last weekend on an Athlon based rig no problems whatsoever on install. However the next day I booted the machine and the got the message that it could not find Win boot files. Checked in Bios and it had somehow managed to switch boot priorities from a SATA drive to an older ATA drive which was in there purely to transfer files after the upgrade. Rather bizare. Left the drive in there and and it has done it a further 2 times even with the latest BIOS upgrade.

as much as i hate svart cause hes a troll and well thats all really i gotta agree with him got one of them wd drives in my main pc went for the 400gb version and i wouldnt change it.

If you're looking into buying an Intel Core 2 Duo then this week at OCUK they have them all (excluding E6300) reduced in price, not by much but cheaper than most places.

[Kinag]

got my new computer now so I'm happy

Insanely fast

Dual Core seems to work like a charm too

Personally i'd go with the crowd and go for the 7200.10s seem to be very reliable and the drive generally recommended by the overclockers forumers atm

edit: doh read above post.. seems i'm abit late

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

get the 7200.10 320gb most reliable drive out atm, recommended by all the ocuk forumers..... horizontal data who would have thought it???

erm, the 7200.10 is the series where the alignment of the bits is perpendicular to the platter.
