PC Performance

[hemanhall]

Hi Community hope you all can help me. I have a few questions
I am using an I7 950 CPU is this not a good choice for an Asus P6TSE X58 MOBO? all the specs I read indicate the 920 CPU. The processing speed is very slow. Secondly which is the appropriate OS should I be using 32 bit or 64 bit? I am using windows 7. I am using dual monitor setup one of the monitors is the IZOD 3D. Basically want to watch HD 3D movies and programs and do a lot of downloading. Would like to try gaming as well. If I try to multitask and surf it takes a while and compares to my 486 pc. I have not as yet updated the bios.
Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
Here are my specs
P6TSE X58 MOBO
CPU - Intel Core i7 950 Processor
Corsair XMS3 Tri Channel 6GB PC10666 DDR3 Memory - 1333MHz, 6144MB
PSU - Ultra LSP 650
GPU - Gigabyte GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850 Video Card
Ultra ULT40144 Thermo-Control 120mm Case Fan
Silenx IXP7414G iXtrema Pro LED Fan - 120mm
Western Digital WD5000AAKS Caviar Blue Hard Drive - 500GB
Lite ON IHAP422-98 SuperAllwrite Drive
Ultra Gladiator Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side.

Thanks

There is nothing wrong with the i7 950,if you have it then keep it.
Go with a 64bit OS because 32bit recognizes max 3.2GB of RAM installed.

Definitely Windows 7 64 bit considering you have 6GB of RAM.

The reason a lot of people suggested the 920 (in the past) was because it was the cheapest in the line, and over-clocked rather well. There is nothing wrong with the 950.
