Intel unveiled a power gate feature incorporating a "turbo" mode for its upcoming Nehalem family of processors. With the turbo mode, in a situation where not all the cores are necessary for a particular workload, the ones that are idle will be turned off and power is channeled to the cores that are active, making them more efficient. Intel also showcased the Nehalem-EX for the expandable server market, which consists of eight-core processors on a single die.

lucky you but i expected new computer to run faster that's why i bought it. thx god for hackintosh.
ok enough because this will end up as flaming no matter how i try to avoid it 
PS: i'm also on XP, *Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS and no problems with speed, no HDD doing something all the time, no full 2G memory. tried server 2008 as desktop os and i have to say i like it more compared to vista
sorry for my english

Something is seriously wrong with your P.C.
I use Linux/*BSD/*Solaris/Windows and yes even vista and I dont see it running slow.
