Your a pretty tech savvy guy, have you made any changes to your system that might be responsable? Your processor should handle this with ease... Our server is a i5 and that works well...
One of our fella's upgraded from XP(?) to win 7 but as it wasn't a full install from fresh it only upgraded to 32 bit, meaning he was only using little of his ram. I can't remeber the numbers, is it 32 bit uses up to 3.5 and 64 bit uses up to 6 RAM or something?
I am interested in the answer to this one cos it sounds you have quite a rig, its wierd your having such problems. Have you tried veryfing the integrety of the cache through steam and deleting the cache folder incase somethings corrupted?
