everything is working like it is supposed to. Had to spend few hours to try to fix that "streamci.dll" because of it I had no sound. I tried so many things that I don't even know what fixed it, but it's working now hehehe. All I can say is that i'm having hard time getting this processor to be used more then 25%

, I love this CPU. It's usage never goes above 25% since I don't have any major programs, but still, I had 15 instances of IE, half of them on www.youtube.com straming a movie, no hickups at all

i can get the processor load to 100% trust me :P

hehe, not when you don't have any programs beside media player and IE installed

Got it going at 100% now...been at it for past almost 2 hours. Doing stress test with Prime95, running instance of Prime95 on each core. So far so good, need to make sure everything is 100% stable at stock speeds before I start overclocking.

Sounds great Mel. Strange about the RAID, but if it works, it works.

12 hours of Prime95 torture testing w/out errors on either core. Temperatures in ASUS Probe report 46C (after 12 hours full load) on CPU and 43 on MB. CPU stays at 34 when idle. Not too bad, but not great, it will surely increase when I overclock it, got to watch it carefully

It wont do well with games since my video card is not meant to play games. It is on par with intergrated onboard video if even that good. That's until I buy my gaming video card which is gonna be a while. I will check out few games non the less tho

EDIT: Overclocked my CPU to 2.4GHz, 7+ hours prime95 stable and keeps going. Gonna try to push it to 2.6 or 2.7GHz, depends on the temps (and CPU capability of course)
