In Bootcamp Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit mode,
I tried to do a lot of things at once to see if the multi-cores are really in effect (such as installing games, downloading stuff, installing more programs, and surfing the web, not using intensive apps such as Photoshop)
But it was so sluggish! Just like the MacBook Pro I have...
Well my questions are as below:
1. Would it be because I didn't upgrade my RAM yet? (I currently just got 3GB stock RAM), but isn't 3GB still enough compared to other consumer computers, plus I have the crazy CPU! I was going to get 8GB anyways so would it be more snappier?
2. Does Windows 7 fully utilize 6-Core? Thus Windows 7 will automatically divide running various of tasks into different cores to make them do the work?
I just expected so much paying for this great machine, but if the sluggishness is still the same as regular consumer MacBook Pro, then I don't know! (Because I was also planning to do things such as iMovie, iPhoto, VMWare, running Starcraft, watching Slingbox, and other stuff at the same time on Mac OSX)
