What was the last app you ran that maxed all your CPU cores for over a minute

Folding@Home as others have mentioned.
I know JAlbum will use all four cores but I haven't tried it on this PC yet. I suspect disk access will be the limiting factor rather than CPU power.
 
vista's trustedinstaller.exe/wmiprvse.exe which randomly maxes my cpu (grr!), its doing it right now as a matter of fact, urgh.
 
eve online will consistently eat the entirity of 1 core; so 2 clients, 100% on 2 cores... 4 clients... my system starts to really struggle :(.

I've also found UT3 to be pretty CPU intensive; certainly thats my bottleneck atm, not entirely sure on sup-com what the bottleneck is... also I'd assume Civ4 is pretty heavy on CPU in the late game... but again not actually graphed it to find out.
 
VMware Server with two, Windows Server 2003 Compute cluster Images running.

It didn't like it.

I need (OK want) a Quad and 4GB Ram
