How many Cores do you have?

Quad :). Hopefully upgrade to AMD Bulldozer's 8 core chip coming out. Maybe then my computer might be able to out perform the CELL in number crunching :D. LOL.TheAcountantMan

Duo core but will be upgrading to 6 cores next month.

quad core

i'm a little surprised to see i'm the only triple core in the thread so far. those awesome amd cpu's were best value out there for quite a while and in a benchmark i saw not too long ago i remember a lot of games showed a notable performance bump going from 2 to 3 cores but hardly any going from 3 to 4 or more making me feel good about buying it all over again ;)

I have a monster quad. /krogan impression

running a phenom II 955 quad here and got a 3700 athlon 64 in my old comp.

quad baby!

I'm running an Athlon II x4

4 at 4.0 ghz

One at 3.40GHz with hyperthreading. Yeah, it's old, but I got this computer for just $40 after my laptop died (dual core 1.8GHz). I don't use it for gaming, so it actually works very well. The only things is it needs more memory. I only have 1GB right now.RACiEP

For $40 that sure aint bad. Especially for day to day tasksgmaster456

Yeah I got it from a college in my area. Every couple of months they sell their old computers, monitors, speakers, etc.

[QUOTE="DJ_Lae"]Only two. An old X2-7750.gmaster456

I only have 2 cores. A Phenom II x2 550 3.1 ghz. I'll probably upgrade to a quad core or if amd releases their 8 core cpu's anytime soon.

hexa-core!

I have a tri core actually but I unlocked it into a quad core.

Not sure if we have a high-end crowd here, but this is really different from the Valve hardware survey, in which ~50% of people are on a dual core and ~30% are on a quad.

q9550 @ 3.7 quad not planning to upgrade it niether for awhile yet

wow 5 still using single core :shock:

Hahah, up untill 3 days ago I was still using a Pentium 4 single core 2,4Ghz Processor :D

Now I use a 4 cored Athlon II

I have Quad(4), I want 6 though, and I hear they are coming with 8 this year, to me, that's useless for gaming for now, no game is going to use 8 this year(I'll be shocked if one does), hell, most games don't even use 6, maybe Battlefield 3 will use 6.

Yeah that's what everyone said about quad core when duals were popular.

And now I'm stuck with an E8400 when I should've picked a Q6600 or something.

i think "everyone" was not all that far from the truth and your higher clocked cores still go a long way up against the quad core cpu's in a lot of recent games, especially if you're going to compare to a q6600. Bit-tech dit some features last year, benchmarking starcraft 2 and couple of other games with disabled cores on a i7 x980 and the difference between 1 and 2 cores is generally huge but diminishing returns pile up very quickly on anything higher than that.

besides, why would you be "stuck"? older core 2 quad models can surely be found cheap if you search around a little.
