The wonder of Quad Core's :-)

The only downside I find is having to set the affinity..
I was working from home yesterday on my rig and while it was crunching data I was sorting thru some old avi's and they were stuttery, set QV to use 3 cores and free'd one up for wmp and the rest of the system stuff and it was fine, would be nice if the system did that for you tho instead of having to do it manually...

nope I haven't

I have a QX6700, 4 gig or ram, a raptor, a WD AAKS, an X1900 XT and a SATA drive, all at stock speeds

All off a Silverstone 400w PSU

And it's solid

Wow - I tried a similar amount (slower quad core, less ram, 1 hd) with a 420w psu and it died - crappy PSU for sure

agree....in fact to get Lineage 2 to run properly I had to adjust the folding program to three cores and THEN boot Lineage 2 for it to use the 4th as I couldn't suss which program it was !
