but are we actually seeing the mulithreaded software needed to give this a point beyond bragging rights?

I mean, dual core or dual CPU is great for multi tasking (I had 2x CPUs before it was cool :P), and if you use enough really heavy apps then Quad might be nice, but sextuple is really getting into the realms of "but why would I need that?"

Of course Im a little out of the loop these days, I may just have missed the fact that a lot of modern software is seriously multithreaded, and if that is the case, wooohooo!
