[Gllug] Duo Core processor 4Gb Ram laptop

[John Hearns]

Acktcherly, all is not rosy in the field of multicores.
Shamefully quoting a Slashdot article:

*"Engineers at Sandia National Laboratories, in New Mexico, have simulated
future high-performance computers containing the 8-core, 16-core, and
32-core microprocessors that chip makers say are the future of the industry.
The results are distressing. Because of limited memory bandwidth and
memory-management schemes that are poorly suited to supercomputers, the
performance of these machines would level off or even decline with more
cores.'"
