lancerguy :
i was wondering which cpu (corei5 vs. core2 quad) is better at handling programs for music playback (itunes and zune) and music production (i don' t have any programs in mind as well, if possible please recommend some).
I must say i5. Simply for a couple reasons i feel that make that choice valuable.
price? (lower end models)
DDR3 capable
Newer usable/upgradable socket
Hyperthread? More awesome
Never saw the point in the C2Qs....
If you wanted to upgrade.... Your better off getting I5, atleast you can in 5 years. 775 will be obsolete. Atleast that will be like socket 478 currently...
random.... ontop of random, kinda fact... im going to bed...
