Ungage? Where during Startup?
The only thing you can do to ensure you are using all 3 cores is to get the right software.

Most will not take advantage of more than 2 cores, and hence the big Dual vs Quad Debate.

If multi-tasking, Windows will load stuff between the cores, so don't worry.

ganged mode is 1x128bit dual channel

unganged is 2x64 bit dual channel

Some motherboards are reporting unganged as single channel at boot, this is not true, if you see anyone saying they have defective memory please point them to this post.

Ganged will give higher sandra bandwidth at this time than unganged, this is because sandra does not fully support phenom and is working in 1 thread mode. Once sandra supports Phenom unganged 2x64bit will take the lead

If you are running multi threaded benchmarks you need to be in unganged mode, this is the fastest way of running the system.

The 8600GT is a lot faster. With the 3450 you have the advantage of Hybrid Graphics

ok thanks

8600gt better, no crossfire issues.

Reply to blackwidow_rsa

Crossfire and Hybrid Crossfire are different approaches. Hybrid would suit him better than a 8600GT, I guess, since he's already going for a 780G mobo and could save some power by using Hybrid [while increasing performance in a scenario of need].
