Re: Intel Core i5 vs. i7
HMM I have seen a lot of comments when I was having cpu crashing where folks suggested disabling hyper-threading for better performance.

Not a silver bullet though. In general (as in most processes have some idle time every now and then) enabling HT makes things more effective because it makes it possible to take advantage of those idle times. Though if there is no idle time, HT makes performance worse because the additional process, for simplicity let's call it a dispatcher, has more work juggling processes to real working cores and eventually the dispatcher is asking the processor for more than it can handle, therefore stopping playback.

Re: Intel Core i5 vs. i7
I'm one of them. On my main rig, disabling Hyperthreading has reduced errors and spiking.

Re: i5 v i7
M
Knowing nothing about your needs/budget... See the attached chart. I would highly recommend you spend the extra couple hundred dollars on an i7. For Pro Tools you will find a meaningful (significant) difference - both single core and multicore performance. Also, this chip should overclock to 4.9 GHz easily which will make for a stable / powerful system with Turbo Mode and C-states OFF. Hope that helps. e |

Re: i5 v i7
Just me, but I would opt for i7 and a faster clock speed(like 3.4GHz or better). It costs more up front, but the system will last longer(because you won't out-grow it) which makes it a better value. Good advice above too. More speed is better than more cores
