To multicore or not to multicore?
(65.33.10.49) [65.33.10.49]
Hi there everyone,
Had a major lightning strike here in orlando over the weekend, took out 3 computers and 2 tv's in my condo complex (And i'm the president so that was fun !!!).
Anyway, as a result my computer is one of those on the fritz so I have to make some replacements to it to fix it. I'm trying to decide whether to go for the single core Athlon 4000+ or the dual core 3800+ X2? Here's on average what I have open at any one time for my work:
Dreamweaver
Apache
MySQL
Explorer
FireFox
Photoshop
And I also do a lot of music production in Sonar 5 and Reason 3 with lots of virtual instruments.
And I play some games (Though I know dual core doesn't make any difference in games ATM).
What would you guys recommend? I'm on a very tight budget which is why i can't really go for anything higher than a 3800+ X2.
Chris
