This shoudn't be happening, but it is....
I just got a new Intel Core 2 Duo 6600, and was multitasking like mad, having Netscape Navigator going with about 10 tabs, an anti virus scan going and iTunes was playing music-and the computer was hiccupping. What is up with this? I thought Core 2s weren't supposed to do this?? I guess Intel's statement that with the Core 2 you can:"Do more at the same time, like playing your favorite music, running virus scan in the background, and all while you edit video or pictures. "-is a bunch of crap. Is this processor related, which I'm thinking it is?
I also tried to play a game online, Command and Conquer Generals, which isn't that intensive-and the game hiccupped also. I closed itunes and most of the other apps except for navigator, and the game was still stuttering. Cpu usage was about 3/4's of the way up on both cores during this. Could the game stuttering have been due to my router or the cpu? If it is the CPU, should contact Intel?
