Surveyman...Yes I did have the 2 confused( 1 beer too many)...What's funny is that I have Qx6700... Water cooled and running at 3.967 GHZ...

 "The Intel Q6700 is almost double the price of Q6600.  You'd be better off investing a few bucks in a better cooling solution and do a mild overclock to get the same performance as the Q6700.  For VUE, best to go for stability when you have a choice between speed or stability".

  With  Q6700, the CPU multiplier is unlocked, meaning you can increase it. Non extreme chips, like the Q6600, are multiplier locked, meaning you can only decrease the stock multiplier, and not increase it. Increasing the multiplier can be desirable in that it offers an almost effortless overclock, and your RAM isn't affected(Meaning more stability with Q6700). You're also not bound by your motherboard's ability to run a higher base frequency (commonly referred to as a frontside bus, or fsb).
The prices are down for both any way....[

....Vue can't decide or control the prirority level....but this program can give control over that...[

Sittingblue, try this test...The scan is free
(not the drivers), and it will tell you if you have bad or missing drivers....you can find most drivers free on the net, but at least this will tell you....

That is normal....It keeps the computer from freezing or crashing.

Run this test, and you will find out which one renders faster, 64 or 32 bit.....64 bit wins every time..

Unless you're planning on more than 2 OS( I have 3, xp32, xp 64 and Vista ultimate 64), you wont need any boot managers. While installing XP 64, you will be given the choice. after install, you can choose which one to boot up, or have your choice auto boot after a set time (I set mine to five seconds). And yes, XP 64 is perfect with VI , and as mentioned above it will use all the memory available.
