Teddy,

Can you give us an exact system info?

Thanks
Gary

Teddy Gage =EDrta:
I always turn hyperthreading off on my pc, because I can get at least 300-5= 00 mHz improvement per core with overclocking, with more stability. Not to = mention RAM requirements.

And Rob, that build is seriously starved for RAM - 16 GB is not nearly enou= gh for CS6 with an 8 core xeon. you'd be better off going with an overc= locked i7 sandy bridge six core and 32 GB RAM for much less.
My recent build, which absolutely screams, was well under $3k
