Thanks :up:

Wow, thats very impressive. I just hope by the time Alan Wake is released the q6600 can still do the job.

I don't own a quad (yet) so if someone else can post screenshots for these, that would be great...

Cinema 4D - uses up to 8 cores (maybe more?) Free demo available at that same link.
Cinebench - there's a new R10 version out - it's free, from here
e-Frontier Poser 7 - will use all 4 cores for rendering (up to 16 threads, I think), free demo/trial version here.

bit disappointed that my video encoding apps only use 35-50% of quad core CPUs :(

someone need to update the first post

real world (ish)
Apophysis apophysis.org. Beta 206 and later will use 100% of 1, 2, 4, or 8 cores when rendering.

Benchmarking
HiperPi- spawns up to 32 intances of superpi in one window (tabbed) and then runs them all simultaneously when you press start. (~80-100%)

Oh and try not to laugh too hard at my times:rolleyes:

Im pretty sure DVD Flick (The latest build)takes advantage of Quad.
I don't have one anymore but I did notice a HUGE encoding FPS Increase
