Hey all, I was very happy to see that when I recently upgrade to the most current gimp through ports on Mac OS X 10.6, I was able to successfully switch to fullscreen view - something I missed a lot from when I was working on Linux... However, I'm running with two monitors, and the gimp always se

[Gimp-user] DualCore or QuadCore for Gimp?

2010-01-06 Thread Uwe Haider
Hi together, I'm using Gimp for several years on an older Athlon with 1250 MHz. Now I think I should buy some new hardware. Runs Gimp with a quadcore or with an faster DualCore better? The system will run on Linux Gentoo with 64bit. What do you think? Uwe Haider ___
