[QUOTE="6string, post: 1115095, member: 120039"] How much will the extra speed help me with these programs? More so in Final Cut.... but will still see a little tweak in everything. As far as future proofing, even the C2Ds aren't obsolete yet, so I think there are many yrs left on the i-series processors. Future proofing as far as highest speed and latest processor doesn't only count for personal longevity, but it also factors in resale value. The i-series processors are still relatively new the the market, so it will be quite some time, until something supersedes them, especially when factoring in affordability and compatibility. Just look at SSDs as an example. They are priced out of the range for your everyday consumer, especially if you want a reasonable size. Obviously the choice is yours, but if you can afford to avoid the potential for buyers remorse in anyway whatsoever, that is the road I would go down. [/QUOTE]
