[QUOTE="tp194, post: 485695, member: 38117"] Hello I just purchased a Quad-core Mac Pro 2.66 ghz, and I added 4gigs of RAM. I'm trying to figure out how the 4 processors work. First of all, when I view the Acitivity Monitor, the %CPU never exceeds 100%. Does this mean I'm only using one processor? My assumption is that I have 400% of processing power. Also, when I run certain apps (like Handbrake) it takes over an hour to copy home videos. I expected this to be a bit quicker. I'm sure my computer is running fine, but how do I max out the quad core processors? Thanks. T~ [/QUOTE]
