^ Now there's something I like to see. This is an example of Unreal Touranament 3 running on my Phenom 9850 (2.8GHz) + Radeon 3870 (stock). It was set to maxed out and played as smooth as silk.

It's nice to see a game (or any frequently-used application) take advantage of multiple cores like that.
If you do the math, that averages to an estimate of 100% on two cores, so the game really uses "only" two cores (which is still nice).

On the other hand, I did a slight test with my Phenom 9600 and MS Flight Simulator X...

That's what I like to see
