Tomasz J, I know it all depends on the compiler, however if it's not 
multithreaded the compiler won't write it and the system won't look 
ahead to see if another proc is available, is this correct? With the 
newer dual cores and soon to be quad cores sofware usually lags 
behind. With AMD the mem controler is on die and bottle necks aren't 
like they were. When doing global number crunking (formula applied 
to a series of stocks, the other proc could already be at the next 
in the series cutting the time in half). I am by no means a true 
anandtech geek but I do read alot, will Amibrokers utilize the 
second core any time soon?

PS I am happy to hear about the 64 bit upgrade and the 25% boost.
Looking forward to jumping on board after holiday.

Thanks for your time.
