Why I need a quad core PC
I am constantly running a lot of applications, and am using the quad core and 2GB RAM that Vista will let me use (out of the 4GB installed) pretty heavily. I frequently see the cores drop into 80-90% use. RAM usage is often over 90%.
Right now I have running:
File Management
CuteFTP
Windows Explorer (2 instances)
Browsers
Internet Explorer 2 open tabs
Firefox 89 open tabs
Java game Settlers of Catan (playing a game with Judith and Miranda while eating lunch and working and writing this)
Particls - newsticker scrolling
Communications
Outlook
MSN MEssenger - 2 conversation windows open
Yahoo Messenger
Skype
MySpace IM
Document Editing
Excel - 2 files open
Notepad - 1 file open
Utilities
CPUID Hardware Monitor - keeping an eye on system temps
RescueTime - tracking my time management
MUM - My ISP internet meter
Other applications I regularly use not currently open
Dreamweaver
Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Visio
Photoshop
This would have to be the main group of major tools I use daily. What are some of yours that I haven't listed here?

That is why I need a
That is why I need a quad-core computer as well. The problem is though I run all of those things, including what you have listed as not being open at the moment, and a few different pieces of software (such as WSFTP instead of CuteFTP and ACDSee instead of Irfanview, Rainmeter instead of CPUID etc), and yet I only have a lowly single core Athlon 64 3500+ and 1gb of RAM.
Additionally, under communications, as well as Outlook, I also have Outlook Express and Thunderbird running pretty much all the time as well. Then there is also Illustrator which runs alongside Photoshop almost permanently.
Hopefully there will be a quad core upgrade soon :)
