See my subject-line/title above for this thread: It's GOOD news!

:)

* I picked up on this fact from the INTEL Core 2 Quad Extreme Launch and Review here:

http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/core2quad_qx6700/6.html

& after checking that WinRar 3.60 was indeed "only" a single-threaded program? It appears that it has been improved to take advantage of multiple core systems now...

& WinRar 3.61 "M/T" does a FAR BETTER JOB on benchmark tests @ least (as decent an indicator as any) than the single-threaded design of WinRar (3.60) by far...

See the URL for evidence thereof from tests, above.

(Have @ it!)
