I just finished my Core 2 Duo E6300 build with 2 GB RAM and an ATI X 1900 XTX and have a couple questions... How do I stress test the system to determine both cores are working well? Prime 95 won't test both cores. Is there something better to use now for Dual Cores?
In a loaded system ATI recommends a 450 watt supply for my non-crossfire system. I got a 600 watt supply...yet a friend keeps thinking that even 600 watts from what he has read but hasn't quoted won't be adequate after playing Oblivion 20 hours straight (for instance). I find this hard--true or not?
I think I will have to call both Intel and ATI on these points too but I hope the community at large can help too.
Thank you.
