I have never understood why people buy a system like this and then cripple it.
Name them?

Utter rubbish! Tell me of any application/game that uses 4 cores + 4 virtual?

The intensive Photoshop 4 has implemented GPU usage, but I don't see it even using the best of 2 cores, never mind anything else, apart from RAM.

Cripple?........lol, what nonsense
