A: Drop a second GeForce board in it, double up on monitors and see how many games you can have running at the same time.
Besides... with a kick butt system like that you should be running two video boards in SLI mode anyway.

Dual cores are faster than Pentium 4s. Multi-core systems let your system split all the processing work between the cores so that processes are less likely to look "stuck" while something else is running. Obviously your still limited by the speed of you hard disk for things that use disk i/o, and amount and speed of ram, etc. But going at least dual core now is a good idea. I'll take a crack at this, if I'm wrong I have no doubt that I'll be corrected and you will get the right answers. A 2 GHz quad core processor does not equal 8 GHz. What it does equal is four processors working in tandem at 2 Ghz each. A multicore processor's speed is not faster than a higher rated single core, but they will process more data due to being multicored. Look at it this way: you have a one acre lot...
Aesthetics is one of HTC's strengths, and the company once again scores points for software visuals like the card motif in the recent apps tray, the car dock, and music hub. I appreciate how HTC incorporated some of the best features and design cues of ICS, and toned back the HTC "look," which in truth, was beginning to feel like more of the same.
Much of HTC's backend work was done on the camera, and while it's hard to comment on the quality of the low light shots without thorough testing, I will say that shutter speed in my tests was fast. HTC amended some of the on-screen icons and controls. I really like separating the camera and video buttons, and making them equally accessible, but I do think some of those other icons were a tad overdesigned. Still, that's more a quibble than a serious reason to steer clear.
What's more, the handsets will be among the first to offer Nvidia's new quad-core "Kal-El" Tegra 3 chipset. The Bullet should feature a 4.3-inch qHD display, at least 1GB DDR2 RAM, 16GB internal storage, and a 12-megapixel camera.
