Ultimate System??

Well, how do you define "uses 4 cpus?" Sure no single app uses them all, but the OS will divide tasks amongst them fine, so right now you could be using all of them.

single apps are the reason why i havent changed to dual core yet, i wont change to dual core until there are games that both get and need the performance benefit of two cores... as far as i know the only game that uses two cores is quake 4.. and with the advent of ppu's the cpu isnt left doing too much other then audio(if you dont wana get a x-fi) and the AI

tommy offered me a 955xe to run but after running this intermediate cpu for a while i decided that i wanted to continue running this cpu instead, and take the 5.7 ghz stock volts clock speed instead of the 4.8~5 ghz safe clock speed of the presler i might take up my friend on his offer to give me his ~6 ghz cedar mill in exchange for sending tommy back his 570es tho. only catch is its nakid and i would have to take apart the lga hold down to use the cpu

Buy a very good system and do something else with the rest. There is no way you could need that much for a top of the line system.
