those are Pentium 4s and the like. Intel finally realized that packing more ghz doesn't really work. So a upper medium end intel core 2 duo is usually clocked at about 2.0 ghz. AMD and intel cpu are starting to have about the same ghz level because of the whole dual core thing. btw, many Pentiums run at like 4 ghz.

overclocking a server! Sounds like a bad idea. btw, I thought your isp did not let you host a server.

Iv heard people overclocking low end intel core 2 duos to over 3 ghz!

whats the point? The code is not complex enough to make a difference...

call me weird but I prefer 32 bit to 64 bit for compatability problems. Adobe has not even released a 64 bit flash player :-(. (now my friend thinks that linux sucks). Most linux distro's do not support 64 bit or amd so its not very good for linux. Virtually your only choice is gentoo!

my friend got a amd based hp laptop and I got the intel equivalent. On basic benchmark tests (that is my program I wrote ;-) my computers beats his at both float points and normal integer calculations. btw, they are both dual core and both clocked at 2.0 ghz.

for 2D I would use SDL or allegro. Allegro is _alot_ easier to use than SDL. But once you abstract SDL with your own libraries its not so bad.

to keep price down you could just overclock your graphics and cpu really really high (im told that intel core 2 duos are good to overclock)

I was an AMD man but after the intel core 2 duo was released, AMD got blown away.

how bout using a better api? qt or gtk are much easier.

WolfPack commented: answer the question. There is nothing wrong with the WinAPI. -2
