Dual cpus?

Are dual CPU's worth it?

I mean most games don't utilize them, right? The mobos cost a ton! Obviosuly dual 3200+ would probably be better than 1, but a lot of people are arguing that dual 2400+ would be better than 3200+. Or similar to that.

Depends entirely on what you're using it for, and whether the applications you're using will understand that they have access to two processors.

Dual CPUs won't speed up your game. However you could encode MP3s, do some batch processing, AND play the game at the same time with no detriment to the game's performance.

do hyperthreading processors count? I think its worth it because I have a lot of applications running simultaneously. I can run other programs a lot faster because I have a hyperthreading processor.

Only better with multithreaded proggy's and some games that support SMP.

Not worth a single penny in that case... put yourself together a uni-processor system using the fastest processor..
