    Are Single Core CPUs Still Available for Running Old Game Servers?

    Are Single Core CPUs Still Available for Running Old Game Servers?

    multi core cpus are essentially a single chip with multiple processing cores on it where as a coupled core setup uses 2 or more chips with 1 or more cores on each chip its usually the standard for pcs to use a single multi core chip over multiple chips due to power restraints and bottlenecking...

    Would you eat in vitro meat even if were proven to be 100% safe?

    while reading the thread and the information i found the idea promising, obviously the cost at the moment is unrealistic but with the population growth the way it is, its definitely the way the future needs to be heading, my partner after having to hear me read every post on here said that she...
