Do an AMD Quad core processor improve performance on Windows XP?
Currently I have AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor. I want to upgrade to AMD Phenom X4 Quad core processor. I'm using Windows XP SP3. Will Windows perform better with Phenom?
Well, the more "cores" a computer has the better it will perform since it will split the load of the task over the amount of cores available. So instead of having a single core, or two cores working on a task, there will be four cores. So in short, YES, upgrading to a Quad core processor will increase the performance of your Windows operating system.
