I am using an Intel Pentium M processor... I love it.

Bobisha

i5 dual with dual-threaded cores

Centrino (ie, Pentium M)

AMD Phenom II x4 945 3.2

if helps im using a ATI 6950, almost playing mana without video lag Oo

My Thinkpad has an Intel Core2dou T9600

But i prefer AMD when it comes to desktop computer

I use Acer Aspire 4530 with AMD Turion x64 for Linux Mint Nadia & the most updated ManaPlus Client

Otherside, I use Intel for my Windows PC with Windows 8 Professional on it.

What about you?

Intel Celeron SU2300, Dual Core 1.2ghz

AMD Phenom II X4 955 @3.2GHz

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K

Thinking about upgrading my mb to a dual socket. Anyone know a board that would support two of these ^? LGA 1155

I have intel atom 1.33 GHz 1 core on my laptop . I wonder what is minimum requirement for TMW?

I am more of a software guy, but AFAIK LGA 1155 doesn't support multiple CPU sockets on one board. I think you can only do that with Xeon CPUs using LGA 1366 or LGA 2011 sockets.

hmm I wonder if they will come out with something. I'm just thinking of a nice machine I can build for around 1.5k at most.

When you want a decent dual-socket workstation you have to invest at least 2k.

But seriously, why? There are very few niche applications where you need that much parallel CPU power on a desktop system. Remember, more CPU cores don't process faster, they just process more at the same time. Also, for many applications the bottleneck isn't CPU power, but rather the video card or the disk IO. When you just want it for pure bragging rights: in a few years average consumer-grade hardware will outperform it anyway, and a few years later even a tablet will be faster.

Rendering,modeling, working with 3D. Just need a bit more to process decently
