    Media (encoding/transcoding).
    Well, I understand the need for extra HD space - archiving Polycasts, etc, I just wasn't sure what else you had in mind.

      I have roughly 200GB in pr0n.

        Good decision to go with the 15' cable then.

          Nothing like pr0n on the bigscreen.

            What specifically do you think will be able to take good advantage of your quad-code processor? I'm talking when you put the machine together, not two years later. Media encoding?

              Media encoding, for sure.

              New games are multithreaded also, eg Supreme Commander.

                  Yeah, but Supreme Commander sucked.

                    It's an okay game.

                    The thing is, it'll be standard practice for DX10 games to be multithreaded. It makes sense to go quadcore over dualcore, considering their price is so very close and the performance is night and day different...

                      Yes.

                      My PC is Milton, my laptop is Sherman, my network is Herman. I like ugly names for sexy devices. My 500GB external HD is Rupert, my 2GB flash drive is Horowitz.

                          Hm, I recently "upgraded" to Phoebe 1.5, i.e. I picked up a new motherboard (MSI Neo2), a new CPU (AMD Athlon 64, 3200+), and a new videocard (XFX GeForce 7600GT, 256MB) for about 250 euros

                            I upgraded to Milton 2.1 about a year ago. Swapped the Radeon 9800 Pro (top of the line when I bought it) for a GeForce 7800 GS CO Superclock, and added 1GB of RAM to make it 2GB from 1. It extended the life a good year.

                                Hitachi HDDs tend to be noisy.
