hi, i use my computer alot on making DVDs. sometimes, i get avi format files, and use nero 7 to convert it to DVD file and i burn it to dvd rs. my gpu does nothing when converting videos, is it suppose to be like that? i thought they work when converting video files.

Not that kind of converting. They are needed if editing videos and redering them... but all Nero does is put them to a disk in a different format, no video required as pure data transfer.

i was expecting to be faster when i was buying my gfx card,
so the only way i can convert video files faster is to upgrade cpu, right? if i get q6600 from e4400, will it be a big difference? since quad, 2.4 x 4cores, and e4400 had 2.0 x 2cores.

If you can, get a 8400 instead. I know its only a 2 core, but its cheaper and does at least as well as the Q6600, being that the 8400 is clocked so high. Its also very power efficient, and very cool running

Dont think Nero is optimized to use Quad yet, I use convetxtodvd and it takes about 30mins to convert 2 films ( each 2.5gb ) to dvd...

I noticed a big difference by overclocking my Q6700 from 2.66ghz to 3.40ghz...

Clock your E4400 to 3.0ghz and you should half the time...
