Default Re: Intel Quad Core vs. i-series

Yah, internals is the only way I would go at this point. I might look into a 10,000 RPM or two for audio drives as well to see if that makes a difference. Who knows, by the time I'd be building that system, SSHD write times might be good enough to try them. I don't know, we'll see.

The deal is that I can get a another Q9450 for a good deal next fall (Intel employee thing. I'd snap it up now except I just did that and can't get another one at that price for another year.). We'll see how the world is turning at that point in time. Alot could change between now and then, but the system is stable and capable as it is now. So I don't feel the need to rush into a change.
