Does anyone here still use a single core pc?

Anyone? or is Dual core the "lowest" out there?

Dark_Angel · 9 Jan 2011 at 11:35

Technically yes, I do. FOr a file server (which mostly holds backups of my stuff). But it really doesn't do much else if I'm honest.

Only at work, and im gonna start using my own laptop asap

What is single core? lol

Clarkson · 9 Jan 2011 at 11:41

What used to be the 'family' computer downstairs, contains a Pentium 4, something like 128MB of DDR RAM, probably extremely bad on-board GPU, and some dust.

Practically unusable these days, and has been for yonks. Probably cluttered up with loads of crap though and I'm a complete technotard when it comes to software issues.

Not actually use one no. Though the only cpu in my spare cupboard is an old single core amd cpu so I am hoping nothing goes wrong with this one.

I used a single core Pentium 4 up till last week when I finally had money to build a new one . What a difference! I'm now on a quad core, loving it so far

Sure, me eee 901 is a single core atom!

But yeah, even my HTPC is dual-core, my last single-core desktop was my Athlon XP 3200+ which I stopped using ~2 years ago.

Is this IvyBridge you speak?

But yes, my packed-away comp is a Pentium 4 @ 3ghz with HT. The virtual HT core is rated @ 0ghz. No idea where it went. Anyone?

RickST · 9 Jan 2011 at 11:48

even my work pc is a quad these days. I think atom is likely to be only single core cpu you will find these days

My server uses an AMD Sempron and my misses has an Atom netbook.

wellaman5000 · 9 Jan 2011 at 11:58

my old Time laptop uses one ( time has now gone bust) i use it for a samp server and a ile server using hfs

My current PC is single core.

I should have upgraded it years ago (its now 8 years old :eek:

) but keep getting told "No" by the parents.

My current comp is that.

I have a virtual core @0GHz too... Could that explain why its suddenly so much slower and (even more) ****.

My parents machine is still single core AMD.

Mick-1965 · 9 Jan 2011 at 12:37

Celeron 430 in my HTPC used every day. Cant see it being upgraded anytime soon either as it plays all my HD .mkv's perfectly well.

NVid'did'it · 9 Jan 2011 at 12:53

Looks like I'm not alone, uggggh!! INTEL!!!! They better not disable anything on my new i5 2500k on a P67 board.
Oh wait....

Mr Krugga · 9 Jan 2011 at 12:53

Yeah, my Samsung Galaxy S uses a single core CPU if you count that as a PC.

opethdisciple · 9 Jan 2011 at 13:00

I still run a P4 computer.....

Didnt really consider that it was single core, untill now thinking about it.

Oh dear. Well I only use it for the internet etc... the comp in my sig is my gaming machine....

Other than some heavy flash website, P4 is still a good workstation chip.

Got at least the life of Windows xp in it.

Devz · 9 Jan 2011 at 13:04

I'm still rocking a Pentium 4 3.4Ghz. Just upgraded to a 2500k the difference should be immense!
