Hook stuff for threading?

Getting dual core cpu soon

Hook commands in Bmax seem ideal starting points for threaded apps.

Mark stated in his last worklog (or the one before it) he was starting to give threading a thought... so this small step comes as no surprise then. And a jolly good start it is, too!

A bit OT but which Dual Core processor are you going to get, ADM, Intel?

Which is best or are both of the same power?

Amon. AMD and Intel are both equally great. Without one, the other wouldn't be as cheap.

Hook stuff does seem like a good starting point for threaded applications. Except on Windows where anything that needs to modify the Form, must be invoked in the "main" thread. Thus hooks in particular are not going to be threadsafe - not on Windows at least.

According to these benchmarks the dual-core AMD's completely blow Intel's out of the water, it's not even close:

Intel loses every single benchmark (its high-end offering doesn't even match up with AMD's low-end chip on some of the tests), plus intel uses more power and generates more heat.

I am getting an AMD dual core.

AMD dual core rules.

Crikey! thats a huge difference...I mean just looking at the temperature comparison is enough to make you think, let alone the speed benchmarks lol
