Right now, here's what I'm doing on my laptop:
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 x64 Build 7000
T7300 CPU @ 2GHz
4GB RAM DDR-677
8600M GT 256MB GDDR3 RAM 550/900 clocks
Am I right in my assumption?
- typing this up
- burning a DVD9 disc
- extracting an 8gb rar file
- chatting on AIM
- running Outlook 07
- Watching Conan on Hulu.com

Well I believe you if you say so, though logically I don't get why Flash video would use 100% of your cpu. I'll have to google it and see. But thus far, doing some video encoding (720p h.264), cpu usage has been about the same in Win 7 as Vista x64. Roughly 80% cpu usage on all 4 cores on the 1st pass and 100% cpu usage on all 4 cores on the 2nd pass.

No, flash video takes between 28 and 48% CPU usage on its own normally on this machine. It might be something with IE8 as I see that still in Firefox it takes a lot of CPU. Watching h.264 or any other normal codec on my machine has always taken less resources than 480p flash video.
As far as video performance, under Windows 7 x64, my computer runs 1080p video smoothly. Under Vista x64 it was a little laggy.
