update>>>>

Ok so far managed to get xp installed on the 500 gig but it took ages longer than it did when I had my x2core 7850 and in the process of installing service pack 2 but its been 20 mins and its only 1/2 way installing....

device manager picks up the 4 cores ok, once sp2 is intalled I'm going to try windows 7 64bit....it could be the HD playing up I dont know but failing that I'll buy a new motherboard it might be that my bios is a beta (from the gigabyte sight) and not fully able to use the 4 cores as my version is version 1.

I'll play around a bit more I might try one of my other HD to see if that is slow and failing that I'll try my old CPU and if that is any faster I know it was the quadcore.

I tried a different sata port and ram athough I left it longer this time when it got to the 20% and it passed that bit after 15 mins hence intallation of xp
