Crysis supposedly likes quad core. Not sure on UT3, but that probably will benefit as well.

Grats on the upgrade...assuming you came from Vista. When I did the same thing, I had to re-enter the product key from Creative. It sent me to their site where I had to say why. "OS Reinstallation". It approved it and...

Use this at your risk, but flashing to a new firmware that was region free worked for me in the past. Check comments and do some research of your own, but I think here is one of the best spots for making your drive region free or...
