Ya ya ya, more facts from an *expert*. Did you even bother to take the time to check to see how many threads were used by Outlook (23!), Word (8), MS Access (4) and Excel (5). Everything but Outlook did not have anything loaded, Outlook is connected to an IMAP server. Do you still think that MS Office will not benefit from multiprocessor cores? You know nothing of what you talk about which isn't a surprise considering this forum.
