True on the speed, 7zip is alot slower than rar, but I dont notice much on my current rig. The C2D seems to pull throuhg it a speeds that I am very happy with. I havent used it on anything prior so I dont know. I do know that it takes me roughly 20 secs longer to unzip the map pack under 7 zip then it does on winrar, but for the adding savings in file size, I am trimming off roughly 8-10 min on download time on a 1.5Mbs DSL connection.

Hmm, now that I look at it, the rewards are not that great since 7z is not a widely used format.

Nevermind my dull and pointless post.... should of really looked at the pro's and cons to it.
