Good read.

About Lost Planet, after reading what was stated in the article I got the impression that you didnt activate the usage of four cores in that game.

Here :

==>"The game itself creates two computational threads, however larger L2 cache of the quad-core processor grants its victory in overclocked mode. In nominal work mode Core 2 Duo E6850 wins the first prize as it boasts considerably higher working frequency."

Part of my last message went poof.

Did you increase the "concurrent operations value to 4? I had to manually increase that value to 4 on my Q6600 system cuz the game didnt automatically inrease that value to 4 (from its default 2)

Excellent Article.

Really shows the great potential and success of quad core Intel CPUs. The core marchitecture truly is a marvel, with strong clock for clock performance, very few weaknesses, and potential for very high clock speeds spell WIN WIN for Intel.

Too bad Barcelona isn't going to stand a chance.

would be more interesting to see the two cpus at the same clock speed - say put them both at the fastest you could get from the slowest one (runing both at 3.6GHz) and then you'd really see if the extra cores on the quad help.

I have both a X6800 C2DE and a Xeon X3220 Quad. The 3220 is being utilized in my 975 main box. While the X6800 is in the downstairs secondary box... nuff said.
