When I was stepping up to a quad core 3.2GHz from a dual core 3.1GHz I really wasn't sure what to expect. In most applications I assumed that the addition boost would come from maybe spreading the work throughout cores, this however, has been fairly shocking. The speed at which this runs is kind of insane. I've long recommended the 940+ chips in this line to people (my brother got one) and I am glad to have one myself. While it's no Sandy Bridge, this thing is no slouch.
My sound card has also been fairly impressive. I can tell an immediate difference not only offloading the stress of my onboard from the CPU, but just in some of the clarity of the sound. It's very nice.
The one thing I have yet to really use is the new hard drive. I tossed all my stuff in and did a little Windows updating and voila! I was ready to go. I will install Windows on the new drive soon, I just haven't got around to it quite yet. I was more concerned about playing with my new toys!
