The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dual Proc vs Dual Core (and more....)

Asked by chrishow in Computer CPU Processors

Tags: dual, core, vs, proc

I’m interested in learning more about the latest CPU’s and their strengths.

I work in an environment where we run Market Data applications (Bloomberg / Reuters) and use them to feed Excel spreadsheets (using DDE). Currently we run HP desktops with P4 2.4ghz processors, which are approx 3 years old (no Hyper threading). For some of our power users, these machines are starting to struggle (specifically the CPU) to handle the larger spreadsheets with real-time links and real-time calculations.

I’ve been looking at HP’s latest desktop offerings and I’m struggling to identify what will best suit our requirements. Running Windows XP and Office XP (or 2003) will I make full use of Dual Processor / Dual Core functionality?

Will Hyper Threading make a big difference for the type of application I mentioned above?

AMD vs Intel? Who is leading the way in this arena?

How about the Win XP 64 Bit, should I be looking at this?
