My quadcore installed Windows XP in 6 minutes.
 

I didn't know the data could be read from the cd that fast... Quadcore is the shit!

im so jealous

Yeah...I can rip a dvd in about 7 minutes. Not if its compressed though. What processor do you have? It sounds nice.

I thought the harddrive was the bottleneck

Fuck, I must have mental issues, I thought the post said
"My grandpa installed xp in 6 minutes"
LMAO, unless someone posted that one above, my mind must be stuffed!!!

That's pretty amazing!

That's pretty amazing!

Im like-- so jealous

That's some mad shit there!

Like someone else said, I thought the harddrive would have been a bottle neck. Good to know.

The hard drive is a 10,000 rpm Raptor, not a normal 7,200 rpm drive. So you both might right.

Wow, Notepad must open damn fast on that computer!

I just made my own external hard drive with a raptor sata drive, its pretty damn fast...:thumbsup :thumbsup

lol that happens to me sometimes

It isn't just the Quad core... it is also the higher frontside bus and SATA connection for IDE...

That is fast. Very fast indeed ! What about Vista ? How long does it take to install Vista ? . I`m curious !

What is better a quad core or two dual cores?

I haven't read much about newer computer processors, but quadcore sounds neat. I might need one of these for video encoding.

nice
i am used to it taking about 20min i think
got a weblink for the box?
price?

wow thats awesome :thumbsup

Damn that is sweat! :thumbsup

I just built a new computer awhile ago.. with 2 of those 10k raptors. wd1500adfd's

fuck.. i guess it is time to build a new computer for me

Seriously Rich, I feel so behind.

Yah, the quad cores are pretty awesome. Just built an 8 core system and it's just amazingly fast :thumbsup

yup, quadcore and raptors are great :thumbsup

I just installed a core 2 duo on mine

and I'm jealous :(

Recently using a Core2Duo and an SATA2 drive it definately took more than 6 minutes. My motherboard is quad compatible, so maybe in a few months..

Six minutes to install XP sounds pretty fantastic to me.

Sounds like a bad ass machine

Too bad the quadcore wasn't available in October when I ordered my computer. My dual-dualcore xeon has as many processors as one of those beauties (and I bet my machine is a LOT LOT LOT noisier ;))

Incredible results!

nice processor, but 2 expensive

I think i need a dual quad core :)

I cant wait to get a dual core, fuck, that is unbelievable!

I call bullshit, but whatever.

i run two pcs, one older just for batch processing etc..which is on its last days, an old athlon 750, so its time to put together a new machine, any suggestions ? dont need the fastest, but reliable for PS and adobe premiere..
