I know benchies and synthetic applications are the best way to find out performance, but, I want to know about the "real applications".

With a AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8 Ghz Proc OC'd to 3.2Ghz/3.5GHZ

Could I run 2-3 HD youtube videos at the same time and Photoshop/GIMP and My favorite Browser with no hitches?

This is my connection speed.

and this is a vidio showing what I am talking about.

however this is a 940.

Also, could someone make some sense with the "Connection Speed" stuff is telling me?

My connection is at 2.7mbps and I can stream youtube HD without hiccups, so you can run 2-3 Hd videos at the same time

I'd say your connection is great for running multiple youtube videos, for photoshop/gimp and such like make sure you have plenty of RAM, 4gb+
