Hello,
Any thoughts on best CPU for video editing (no gaming) with an Asus P5N-D and Radeon HD5670?

Conroe and
Allendale
Core 2 Duo E4xxx 2 MB LGA 775 65 W
Core 2 Duo E6xxx 2-4 MB
Core 2 Extreme X6xxx 4MB

Kentsfield
Core 2 Quad Q6xxx 2x4 MB 95-105 W
Core 2 Extreme QX6xxx 130 W

the Quad would probalby be the best one for editing if your motherboard support it. You may need a BIOS update.

The best would be the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 with the latest BIOS installed... IMO (value to performance). Video Editing will benefit from a quad core and 4GB + of memory.
