Just wondering what some of the most resource demanding pieces software are out there and what you guys use to run them. Games, graphic editing, anything... I've noticed that Flight Simulator X eats a lot more resources than a lot of people would expect. I think that's my most resource demanding program. What's yours? ;)

i always get somewhat confused when the term "resources" come up. i know that sometimes the resources conflicts and the computer freezes. so does "resources" mean CPU usage or does that mean how much RAM it takes up?
 
MySQL in a huge constantly being hit database, the mysql daemon was taking up 190% of my CPU usage of a server once, until I got help from the devs to index the data base and force the clients to stagger connections.

how do u actually get more than 100% CPU usage? doesn't 100% already mean that the whole CPU is working on that one task?
 
Windows Vista,
naw jk, Adobe Premier, it will take as much CPU power as it can, and no way to throttle it back either, is also hard on RAM and GPU especially if encoding in High-Def
 
i think its itunes. the stupid bitch takes longer to open up everytime i restart my comp.
 
uhh vmware. Sometimes i have more then 5 virtual machines powered on (eat away about 512mb each.
crysis is a definite resource hog also

Unreal Tournament 3 seems to be the most power hungry program I have.

Is that any good? Looks great and I tried the demo, and that was awesome!

Actually, I think the most resource hungry program I use, is Ventrillo, when I'm talking to, Paul!

It totally drains all power from me... it's so tedious :P

game play is awesome :D, it looks great.
Campaign is superb, and the multiplayer plays great.

it has one downside. It doesn't have as much maps as ut2k4 did.
Also the amount of "options" you can configure for instant action or a multiplayer game are quite simple.

if you just want to have a nice time fragging people alone, go with ut 3.
If you want to play online with some friends or something go with ut2k4
