Back in 2008/9 I had the Intel Q6600 cpu and at that time games and OS barely could utilize more than 2 cores of a processor. How are things now? My straight forward question is whether windows 8.1 utilizes more than 2 cores?
Does it make sense to upgrade to a quad core for a HTPC just for a fast n snappy computing experience?
Thanks.
