    In some games DDR3 buys you a few percent improvement on the quad cores, so if DDR2 is already a penalty on quad core it isn't going to get any better with 6 cores!
    Well, the most demanding task would be video encoding (I do that sometimes, and if the hexa core isn't much more power hungry, then why not have 5 idle cores, heh )

    Also, I encode audio quite often. I wonder is dDpowerAmp would use all six cores

    I wonder how these will perform comapired to the i7s? AMD could be onto a real winner if they are reasonably priced!
