Wow! and that's with other stuff running in the background?!
Very impressive CPU!!! That's double the processing power of mine!!!
Now I can see how someone can be ripping a movie & still be able to play a game at the same time without dropping fps.

By the time I have the means to upgrade (like this last time) I can only imagine what the new processors will be capable of in the next 5 years...

Example: I went from a P4-B 2.4Ghz (@ 2.66Ghz using CPUFSB) to a Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66Ghz @ 3.34Ghz. This is a 84% performance increase over my old system...
