After i'm done crying. I would Start a Folding farm and then prove why the world won't end in 2012 with many geologic simulations. I would also use it for genetics. Time to create the prefect human!

Well, I would run Prime 95 in order to find miranda (or what do you call them) prime numbers.
They are cool.

LOL he could have 1000 cores and still he couldn't even get one chick to do anything with him.

Monte Carlo Calcs

i would try running vista....
and brag...

i just hate it when they put a contest but limit it to just US (and sometimes Canada).
there are other countries in the world that buy cutting (bleeding??) edge GPUs too.

 

[I_R_Trogdor]

Just wondering what the point is in ivesting into upping the number of cores...
The future is GPU computing - far cheaper and has been proven!!!
I'd rather get a Nvidia Tesla..

Not any regular person is gonna win anyway, besides what do GPUs have to do with CPUs?

i meant to say CPUs... i clicked too fast! )

man, i really wish they have edit button for this thing...

 

[thekitty]

in for one, er, 48

assign 1 core for word, assign 1 to outlook, assign 1 for the anti virus, then ask my girlfriend to surf the web for 2 hours to fill the other cores with viruses.

 

[Stryter]

WORLD PEACE!!! I WIN!!! 😀

 

[shreeharsha]

Whatever the suggestions are, I am not sure that Windows Server 2008 can utilize 48 Cores.

 

[Guest]

I would design a "Jump to Conclusions" software game.

 

[nikrusty]

practically useless for me, though I'm a gamer, no applications are optimized to take on so many cores,leave alone 4 cores that I already have. Besides there is a diff between general core optimizations and specific application based core optimization.

 

[blackmancer]

I know what I'd do with 48 whores.... oh cores.... :/

 

[biofrog]

Stupid USA/Canada restriction! I was going to say I've reached the limit of my i7-920 by trying to simultaneously decode 12 JP2 streams over the network which are coming from hardware image encoding devices at up to 30hz.. NEED FASTER! 🙂

 

[bhagat666]

WORLD DOMINATION!!!
lol

 

[anarchy4sale]

48 chicks at the same time?

 

[curtis_87]

The first thing I always do once I receive a new and even more powerful computer.... It is the most fundamentally taxing of all tasks for any CPU level,greater still requires nerves hard as forged adamantium, skill greater than that of the universe's greatest champion.

I run... a game of solitare...i Remember back on a 486 when the cards at the end would only slowly do their dancing thing. Things have improved since then though....lol you know, with a half decent graphics card chucked in there for the mix I wonder how many fps the original doom would play at, can you even fraps that?

 

[Tech-Boy]

Fold and Video Encoding. Also Special Effects work, oh and Crysis 2

 

[jonpaul37]

wait for programs to come out that can utilize more than 4 cores...

 

[azetec]

Playing Chess with all those 48 Cores at a time and beat them all. LOL

 

[azetec]

Put that CPU in a rocket and sent him to Mars to see if it's that smart to get there by it's own. )
