I'm thinking toward either the i5 or i7 upgrade and I agree that the quad core will be faster than the dual core pentium D. The i5 is about $300 cheaper than the i7 so I'm leaning toward the i5 upgrade. Thanks for your input

The burning part is not the problem but the decoding part is the problem. It took my current PC 26 hours to decode a bluray movie. My processor right now is a pentium D which is a dual core, my question is, do I gain more speed if I upgrade to a pentium i5 with a quad core.

I'm in a same boat as glycoaxl. I have a HP pavillion 1530n with the Pentium D processor, 3G of ram and ATI 4350 video card. I do a lot of burnning bluray or DVD movie and sometime it took day to fisnish the job. If I upgrade to the pentium i5 do you think it will help my burning task faster?
