What are the best applications for a dual processor PC? |
|
We're specing out a dual processor Intel machine at school, but I'm wondering what it will be best suited to. We do a lot of computation-heavy simulations, some graphics animations (like Maya), and lots of spreadsheet, SAS, Minitab analyses.
Is a dual processor (~3 GHz) machine going to be worthwhile for any of this?
