I make music mainly on my PC,
and im going to upgrade but im not sure what direction to go in single or double core, i want a fast beast of a CPU that allows me to load songs faster, use more processor hungry VST plugin instruments and effects, and keep sound card lantency low without getting problems plus render mixdowns quicker(not so important)
i've seen a couple benchmarks on both CPU's but there on game graphics, dvd encoding and with benchmark tests and i dont know how they relate to music making performance
so what do you think Athlon 64 X2 3800+ or Athlon 64 4000+?
