My 160GB External HDD got my PC droped on it (A few weeks ago and with my old Sunbeam Transformer Case)) and it no longer turns on, so i will have to use the 1GB Flash Drive to get the 100GB of Data back over! Only 99 More transfers and its done!

Gratz.
I did mean one stick though.

You do know that you can network the lappy and the Desktop and transfer from there, right?

Yeah, the older versions of prime95 were but the newer versions are all multithreaded meaning you can open up multiple threads in a single session hence the pic with prime recognizing both of my cores on my E8400. You don't have to run multiple instances of Prime unless you have an ancient version. It also recognizes all cores on my q6600 when I had it up and running notice you can pick how many torture test threads too run.

By all means correct me if I'm wrong its just that it really doesn't look or act like a single threaded app.

Edit: I think they started doing multi-threaded versions at or around version 25.1

Here's a thread over at xtremesystems talking about it.
