Thanks, thats exactly what I was going to say xD.He clearly said "or" between those applications. Implying one and another. Maybe three at once.
But actually, I do do quite a few of those things at once. I'll sometimes have a game, WMP playing, a few browser windows open on my other monitor, and will also have XFire running on occasins.
I some what agree but at the same time don't agree. Remember I have both of these processors and I don't see q6600 to justify the price or the notability of increased performance. Referring to the thread, I am going to still stand to e8400 being the best processor.
That's because you're not running multi-thread programs. As more apps (including games) become multi-threaded, the more cores will benefit you.
