Can't help you but I run Vista Ultimate as well on a Q6600 and have no problems running 5 sessions. Gets a little laggy in Shattrah and sometimes I lose follow, seems to happen more since 2.4, but other than that no issues.
I was actually running on 2 cores till recently cause I didn't set the CPU affinity lmao. Even on 2 cores it ran fine except for the occasional few seconds freeze when a seldom used ability is used for the first time.
I actually 5 box just fine, it's single play in intense situations (read: Mount Hyjal trash) that gets ugly as hell. I'm running 5-10fps in there which is just horrible. I use Ogri'la and Shattrah as points of reference, but all said and done the system just doesn't cook like I'd expect it to.Quote:

Just assumed you were having 5-box performance problems.
I heard Hyjal was really hard on systems, never been there though.
I had no issue with framerate when I went into hyjal recently...the trash was no prob lol
Have you tried turing off Aero? It can have an impact on performance. We got a significant increase in framerates when I disabled it on a friends pc.
Aero makes a nominal (2-3fps) difference on my system.Quote:

That's not right, something fishy indeed. Even if the Q6600 is about 5-7% faster than the 9600BE -as per 3dmark cpu and gfx test-, the gap shouldn't be that large with my setup.Quote:

Couple of ideas off my head.
- Silly question : is your GFX card supposed to be powered by 6 or 8 pin supply ? I once had the case where it worked on safe mode with 6 and full mode only with 8.
- Can you try with a different GFX card from a friend ?
- 3Dmark advanced version (USD 20 if I recall) offers sub-benchmarks per system component etc., then you can compare with similar components in their online dbase.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, I hope you'll nail the cause.
Best regards,
I don't recall if the power connector is 6 or 8, but I know it fits exactly what my psu provided (antec truepower trio 550w) and I suspect it was 6 pins...
I've already registered 3DMark 2006 so I'll dig into that and see what I can narrow down.
Did some research and it looks like overclocking isn't an option anyhow, the phenoms are so cranked up from AMD there is no free space at the top end.
Ugh.

Buggy processor and the fix knocks 10-20% off performance... that would explain what I'm seeing.
