I've noticed some familiar applications taking advantage of quad core -- dbpoweramp has four threads running at once for batch encoding, for instance.
And considering that Q6600 doesn't cost much more than dual core at the moment (and is quite OC friendly), it's not really a waste. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I mean, it's a quad after all. And for a 1/4 increase in dual core clock speed (i.e. the E6850) the price balloons to just about the same as a quad. I'd rather get a quad and overclock it. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

I edited my post after I realized what you were talking about, but yeah.
And if you're going to talk about underutilized potential, might as well start with that 64bit OS... How ya doing, buddy?
