PT in general loves cache. Core2's HUGE caches are part of the reason for its great performance. More is better. But PT run well on multi core so if you cant afford a Q9550 with 12MB then look for the next fastest quadcore you can squeeze into the budget.

Ok, so this is what I've come up with so far, it's all sitting in my shopping cart, but I didn't want to go ahead and place the order until I got it approved by you guys... So what do you think? Any changes that you find necessary? Or maybe not necessary, but that I would want? I value your opinions heavily, so your advice will not go unrecognized..

Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model
RAM: CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5 - Retail
System Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE WD800AAJS 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
Audio Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500AAJS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
