Thank you for both e-mails. The Deschutes and Klamath core look very different. After reading the Toms Hardware article, I am not surprised that running dual doesn't work. I am pleasantly surprised that both CPUs work in UP mode. It also looks like I am better off running the Deschutes. Should run cooler, and possibly give better performance.
