Hi,
Are there any specific versions of microsoft office (2003/2007/2010) that can take advantage of the 4 cores / 8 threads of an i7 CPU?
Or, are all of these versions multi threaded and equally capable of using the power of an i7 CPU?

I dunno...asking if Office supports X cores and Y threads and uses Z instruction sets, to me that's a bit like asking if Pac-Man will run on an XBox. No offense.
But, it's Office after all...not Battlefield 3.
Hi all
Any version of office will do --
64 Bit version is only really necessary if you have HUGE spreadsheets or very large databases -- and if you DID have a very large Database you'd be better off using something like MySQL or any other proper DB server system than ACCESS.
So in general just use ANY version of office -- whatever a typical user is doing on office won't tax an I3 / I5 / I7 CPU (or even a humble ATOM processor).
Cheers
