Right...VFP is only a piece of the puzzle for my personal workstation.

I'm also trying to learn Python and I do a fair amount of PHP (Not PCP!)

and web development.

I know VFP is single-thread...oh boy, do I ever. I get a lot of

complaints about "I had to shut down your app because it said "Not

Responding"..."

Oye, give it a chance...Windows 7 is awfully quick to condemn an

application for not responding.

Anyway, I know tomorrow is another day, demands for memory, storage, and

CPU face-time are constantly increasing, and my own patience for waiting

while an app paints the screen with purty graphics (ooooooooh! did you

see the puppy?!) ....but somewhere there is a sweet spot of $$$ vs.

Horsepower and when I'm spending MY money, I'm careful to search for

that sweetest of sweet spot.

Thanks for the thought-cycles...anyone else have experience with Quad vs

Dual cores on the desktop for general computing?

Mike

I'm thinking he's looking at the general picture for his computing

needs, not that he expected VFP to take advantage of that. ??

I did see on VFPx that there's a project called Parallel Fox to help

Foxpro applications take advantage of multiple processors, iirc.
