Re: AMD 64 X2



I've been using a Athlon64 X2 4200 for some time now, and the
virtualization with KVM is awesome. Just have to compile the correct
modules, and bang! everything working.
But still dont know how if kvm (or any other "virtualizator") can use
threads... after all, is a dual core! ;-)

Yes ... I looked at Turion 64 dual-core laptops briefly before buying
the desktop Athlon64 X2. There were some Turion 64 dual cores without
the virtualization assist, but I think they all have it now. The main
reason I didn't get a laptop is that I wanted a reasonable price for 4
GB of RAM and a fast hard drive, not because of the processors. :)
Besides, I think my next laptop will be a Mac because that's what most
of the Ruby geeks use. ;)
