8 Core is impossible right now. You possibly have an i7 with hyperthreading, which means that you have 4 cores.
8 Core
Hm, my dxdiag said so. Whenever I look at my usage status on task manager it also shows 8 seperate boxes.
Only 2 GB RAM? Jesus Christ, that's awful.
I have 8 HB RAM, I normally use it all and 1GB is used by my graphics cars to boost it to 1.5 GB graphics memory
