The quads are supposed to be for multi-tasking, right? How does the CPU know which core will do what task. For example: I start some video editing, surf the net, read e-mails, and run a scan. Is this what the Quad core is intended to be used for? Since there is 4 CPU's, can they each take a task and do it without bogging during the tasks? How does the CPU know where to send what info? Would it be good to OC the quad with this being what it will be used for? Not on the edge stuff, but just a little more performance! I appreciate your input!
