Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs

I definitely appreciate all of the advice given here, and it is nice that people are so clear on what is fact and what is speculation. Right now I am not willing to bet $1400 (about the price of an...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs

Also, the fact that so few people are running i7 boards yet frightens me a bit, because I would hate to find out about some incompatibilities with protools and certain motherboards only after I...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs

This has been very helpful, and I am starting to feel like I "get it".

As to whether or not I will need the extra speed, my guess is that I will not be getting a new computer for at least another...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs

OK, so does the 45nm vs. 32nm size difference from the current gen chips to the next gen chips actually make a difference to us if the socket size is the same?

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs

Just to be clear, you are saying that the i7 920 should outperform the Q9650 by a noticeable amount?

OK, you'll have to speak to me like I'm a 5th grader here, since I am not an experienced...

Re: Best Core 2 Series Desktops-Results and Specs

OK, after 6 years with my old allenstein, it is time to upgrade. Here is my plan, please let me know if I should change anything. Also, I don't know what I should get for a firewire card, so if you...
