8-Core, overclocked machine slow...
In late July, I built what I thought would be a POWERHOUSE of a machine for our living room family computer. 8-Cores running at 4.139 Ghz, 16 Gigs of RAM [4 Gigs set up as a RamDrive to reduce wear of 120 Gig SSD]
My daughter plays a flash game on it, and it's SO CHOPPY! It is actually spending more time frozen than animating! Outside of one of those system test programs, I've never had even 4 cores maxed, let alone 8.
I know Microsoft has not written good drivers for it, so I do take that into some considerations, but this thing should fly even if only using a single core.
