Yes i`m running at a lower clock speed but overall i have much more cpu power as my E8400 had 2 x 4GHz cores giving 8GHz and the Q9450 has 4 x 3.4GHz giving 13.6GHz.
So for an extra 5.6GHz of cpu power i thought i would of gained more than 3.5 mins off the time it took.
I was running the benchmark from within winrar that was the problem once i extracted the files into its own folder it ran fine,my mistake.
Looking at the results from the E8400 in the list that was running just over 4GHz i`m pleased with my results.

Cant seem to get this benchmark to run,ive downloaded and installed AviSynth and the Benchmark.
When i load the x264_benchmark-720p.bat batch file and enter a name then enter the box just goes from my screen and nothing happens?
Maybe its just nero that is the problem and it cant fully utilise the quad.
Using the E8400 both cores were always 100% maxed out but ive just noticed using the quad that the 4 cores usually fluctuate between 70-80% and never hit 100%.
Used to have a E8400 running at 4GHz,my Q9450 is running at 3.4GHz.
I took note of the time it took me to convert a 700mb avi to a dvd iso in nero7 and that was 21m 54s.
With my Q9450 on the same setup it took me 18m 30s so not much of a difference,i thought it would of been much faster?
Anyone any tips on cleaning this?
On my Dell i used a microfiber cloth and it did pick the dust up but it doesnt on this benq it all just stays on the screen.
