The Tech Report has revamped some of their testing methods, and revisit some quad-core desktops that they’ve reviewed previously.  Among the many changes, they switched to Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition, so drop by and see what effect that has had on these systems performance.

But things have changed somewhat since our last dance with quad-core systems, and so we’re gathered here today to take another look.”
