I have been thinking about how to best optimize my 720BE. Since I don't have a lot of extra time to be doing a lot of benchmarking I was wondering of any one had a suggestion as to the best place to start. I know for general daily computing it makes no difference. I think I saw an article on Anandtech that said most games max out with 3 cores and adding a 4th doesn't really help much. Obviously, the high the clock the better. My 720 unlocked the 4th core without any problem though I have not really stress it. I assume if the 4th core is flaky pushing up the clock speed might cause some instability. So you guys think running a higher clock with 3 cores would be better or lower with 4?
I will be gaming and doing some audio/video encoding. I know part of it will depend on the specific software I use but I have not gotten that far. Thanks.
