Hi cisc, do you mean when XP SP2 or SP3 is used? What if Vista Enterprise is used? I assume the app is multi-threaded, doesn't it scale well with four cores?

Since TDP of Q6600 is higher, I wonder when upsampling to 24/192 or higher, whether the difference of dissipating power bewteen a lower cpu usage of Q6600 and higher cpu usage E7200 is much? Does it still make sense to use Q6600 as it gives more headroom for future upsampling upgrade? Thanks.
