i am considering dual cpus for a music computer (music production), & am thinking about dual xeons (if i can run my software - can you run fl studio/cubase with xeons?) or dual e.g. i7-4770k's.

can someone give me some info on if i should do dual cpus for this, & if so, with what hardware?

You can do anything you want on a Xeon powered computer, if you want to go workstation/dual CPU that would be the way to go. It would likely be overkill for music production though.

Click to expand...

likely is the keyword there; i run some projects that fill up all 999 patterns & run a lot with a lot of effects simultaneously, i would like some long duration overkill before i have to buy again.

thanks for you help tho, answered my questions so far.

i guess what are the downsides to building a server computer & using it as a "workstation" - less plugs of this, disallowed thats - ?

thanks again tho - i think i might go this route

The biggest downside is cost...other than that, I don't know of many downsides.

alright, can you recommend some cpu / motherboard combos? i am looking at cpubenchmark.net & comparing 'value' values for the xeon processors, but ##hardware on IRC freenode says to avoid that site - how should i go about choosing some - is there a reliable benchmarking site somewhere?
