-----Original Message----- From Richard L. Hess: "...what are people seeing in multi-core processors for audio vs single-core?..." The latest generation of Intel processors execute more instructions per clock cycle so raw speed has become a misleading spec. I have a year old dual-core 2.6 gig but have found no reason yet to populate the second processor socket or switch to quad-core processors.
