Are there motherboards with 4 CPU sockets? I mean, something actually affordable?
I think different flavors of Windows support different numbers of cores, for example Windows 2000 won't recognize all 4 cores in a quad, but XP will. Don't know about 8 cores... 8O 8O
You get a HUGE performance increase in two areas: Multi-Tasking, and multi-thread ready programs/games. Other areas only use one core.
As far as I know you cannot assign programs to a core.
The next rig I plan on building in about 6 months to a year I want 8 cores (yes, 8). I am either running 2 Quad-Core CPUs or 4 Dual-Core CPUs. i am not sure which one yet, probably 2 Quad-Cores as that will be more cost efficient.
why do dual core CPU run at slower clock speed than my single core? My CPU is 3.2GHz while dual core top cpu run at 2.66 GHZ.
How is it possible to make the dual core run faster?

Hmmm I'm not sure man...
I have a quadcore that runs 3.6GHz Daily at -48C and 4.23GHz max at 1.55v.
Quad Cores can run much faster, the problem is yields would be considerably lower therefore it is not finiancially viable for Intel or AMD to sell highly clock Dual or Quad Core parts.
This is becoming less of a problem as both companies rmap up 65nm and in Intel's case 45nm production.

I do a lot of 3D rendering and I can tell you dual core for me was a must and I strongly feel I need 4 or 8 cores now.
