Hello all, I'm excited to be placing my order for a Sager 9262 soon. But I have a few questions beforehand and I was hoping they could be answered.
I will be using this computer for 3D animation and casual gaming. (Nothing to bleeding edge but recent games none the less) And I want to be able to use Windows XP. I will have 4g of RAM so I know I will have to have the X64 version (a nice tutorial provided by a forum member has all the drivers too, thank you) However I was wondering if Windows XP Pro x64 would support the quad-core. I'm looking at the Duo E8400 and the QUAD Q6700 option. I would like to know if the Q6700 is even supported by that version of XP. Also I would like to know if the quad Q6700 is even that much of a speed difference. I understand that Maya (the program I am using to 3D animate primarily) supports quad cores; However I would like to know if most programs will make use of the q6700.
Thank you for your time and suffering through my terrible formatting.
