I have a question, when folks like the developers of this came specify that the minimum requirements are for a 2 Core, and the optimal are for a Quad core, one would assume this means they are writing their code so it can handle multithreads. Anyone know if this is actually the case, or are they just blowing smoke up our ass?

This came up the other day when someone was telling me about a Dell package that included Dell's odd 24" monitor (odd because of the narrow vertical resolution). I compared the package to Apple's 24" iMac which boasts a 2.8 Ghz dual core. The Dell had something like 2.33 quad. If ArmA actually is multi-threaded, the dual core still might be a better choice (two 1.4 chips) whereas the Dell is running four 575 chips. I suppose we'd have to turn this discussion over to speed experts, but it seemed to me that the iMac offered a better deal at the same price point. The Dell came with a wimpy 256MB ATI Radeon HD3650 graphics card, but had a decent SATA drive. The only real drawback to the iMac was you had to buy your own Windows OS and it isn't upgradeable.

I bought the 2.8 iMac when it first came out. I've remained impressed with its speed, silence and glorious screen, and now that you can pick one up via the Apple refurbished store for $1500, it seems to be an outstanding deal. Of course, I longed for the ultimate speed, so I picked up a Mac Pro Xeon with the new Harpertown processor. The thing is smoking fast.

Dean, have you made the leap to Vista yet, or will they have to peel your copy of XP from your cold, dead hands?
