This is the question. Many have said that this processor or that processor
is better including apple box or windows box, but this is perhaps a
different way of asking the question as we consider getting a second NLE,
that would be a windows platform with avid software:
QUESTION: what will one gain when going from a single hot processor to a
dual core? and when going on to a dual processor?
that is, i hear lots of hype that one has to have the fastest and bestest
but then i see folks with single processor doing a fine job and even on
laptops with slow drives while i hear anything less than 7.2K drive speed is
disasterous. so, i've laid out the question, and i'd like to hear a lot of
comments as we consider getting another puter and want to know if i should
spend the bucks for a dual processor in the xeon or pentium line or athlon's
or if another dual core will be fine or even a single processor now that the
terra byte processors are out with terra byte rams.
thanks in advance for your kind comments all.
