I know that most people here use their computers for primarily gaming or 3d graphic applications. I do like to game, but I was wondering if the same rig that would perform well with 3d rendering would perform equally well with statistics programs such as mplus, Amos, and SPSS. The major functions that bog down my current computer are things like bootstrapping that perform a plethora of mathematic calculations, which sometimes lead to me waiting for an hour for my computer to complete the task.
My current rig is a p4 3.0 ghz with 1 gig of ram on an old 95ld2 asus mobo. My understanding is that the c2d's are great overall, but with the lower speeds, will this perform my particular function slower than even my current 3 ghz processor? I would assume that it would perform better, but before dropping 1500 on a new setup, I would like to have a little reassurance,
