stardust thanks for the quick response
i was changing my processor to a quad core that's when i noticed that the connection to the processor on my motherboard where bend so the motherboard had to go.
do you now if it is a bennefit to have a quad core when using cubase sx 3 with vsti and scope?

Should be a benefit. I've heard that Cubase spreads its synths and FX to all "processors".
Of course not 100 % compared to a dual core, but maybe 50 to 60 %, I think.

Not even 50% actually. More like 25% per core under ideal conditions, so 'real world' you'll come in under 50% for adding 2 more cores (total of 4). However added clockspeeds / cache etc also offset this so... Point to remember though is that there are diminishing returns as you add cores with audio tasks in a complex (non-benchmark) situation.
