How about just doing tasks on different hard drives? C: drive for all the programs. Download to D: drive. Encode to E: drive.

:thumbsup: Brought that up in another X2 thread, heavy I/O will cause serious thrashing when just using a single drive, making dice chips less effective than they could be.

I tried to be lazy and get by with just my 250gb SATA2 when I 1st built my X2, it was quickly evident that I needed to get my RAID5 in there.

Gaming on my C: and downloading/doing anything else on my D: helps a great deal.

I probably won't be getting a dual core until next year, because of two reasons:

1) I'm having a lot of fun with these Opterons. They are just a blast to play with.
2) 90% of my computer's time is spent gaming, 5% is spent doing homework, and the remaining 5% is the only bit that might get any use out of two cores.
