Re: My possible new computer
Computing power of a er umm well computer:
Number of Instructions per cycle
=
Number of Instructions per cycle x number of cycles per second
This is why two CPU's is better then one. You can if the program makes use of it double the number of instructions per cycle. Same idea with having two or 4 graphics cards. You don't go for just raw speed you go for the amount of instructions/flops per unit of time.
Floating Point Operations Per Second : FLOPS

Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: My possible new computer
The FX60 is, but I wouldnt buy that if I were you. Its too expensive for what your getting. Go for something a step or two lower, maybe even an Opteron and OC it to the speed of or close to the FX 60 for about 400 Euro less.
