First, software companies can write their software to make better use of the Intel core duo technology, but this is not required to benefit from the increased performance. So, folks don't have to worry about wasting the new technolog if they don't have special software written to use it. Second, if they do write their applications to take advantage of the technology, it doesn't necessarily mean that the end user has to manually configure anything in the software to do this. In fact, it would be in their best interest (given the preponderance of end users who think they can second guess the designers of the software) to write the software to that is automatically takes advantage of the core duo without end user intervention. So my question is, can you find me someone who is using a piece of looping software where they are manually configuring it to specifically take advantage of the Intel core duo technology. I'd like to see the configuration menu and what exactly it is giving them the option to do Kris > At 06:14 PM 6/17/2007 -0600, you wrote: > >>---- Original Message ----- From: "Rainer Thelonius Balthasar >Straschill" >><rs@moinlabs.de> >> >>>Another thing someone mentioned to me recently is that PCMCIA will be a >>>thing of the past soon - so if for some reason you absolutely want a >>>solution with its own interface card (RME cardbus, E-Mu etc.), it might >>>make >>>sense to wait for a PCIExpress solution as otherwise you would run into >>>the >>>problem that soon you won't be able to get a laptop which accepts the >>>(PCMCIA) card. >> >>It will be a while before all laptops have only the new version.
