Borland C++ 6 with new multi core processors?

Question

I must make some improvements on an application written in Borland C++ 6.

I must purchase new computer for this task. I already have known that BCB 6 has some problems with old Athlon 64 processors (freeze when compile).

Howe BCB 6 works with new multi core processors? (INTEL Core 2 Quad Q6600 with ASUS P5QL PRO )

Are there any problems here?

Answer 1

I've had no problems using C++Builder 6 on a dual-core Pentium 4.

I've also had minimal problems upgrading C++Builder 6 projects to C++Builder 2007, so that might be an option for you too. (C++Builder 2009 requires that any VCL apps be updated to use Unicode.)

Answer 2

I use BCB 6 on a dual-core Pentium. The only problem I have is sometimes the compiler pegs CPU usage at 100% (50% per core) for awhile.

Answer 3

no problem here with a 4 core xeon
