Finally got my new rig up and running smoothly (bar a few little driver issues), and I am itching to try it out. I've never had a powerful processor, or even a "good" processor (my last machine was running a Pentium D 2.66 GHz).
Anyway, gaming has been incredible, my graphic design work is exponentially more enjoyable, and benchmarking is okay for what it is, I guess. I was amazed at how fast 7-Zip unpacked a 6GB ISO file; but I'm looking for some more real life applications. I've heard Handbrake can be an awe-inspiring experience.
Anybody got any suggestions for applications or tasks I could try out?
