[QUOTE="JP-ME, post: 1116865, member: 169680"] You don't state in your posts what you really use your computer for or why you seem obsessed by speed? Just to give you some perspective regarding speed and processors. I used to be hung up on the CPU speeds game. Exactly three years ago I purchased a Quadcore all singing and dancing Windows PC. It has turned out to be the biggest waste of money ever. I am now ready to replace the PC (with Apple) and to date I have yet to make use of all those extra cores. I have rarely seen the CPU meter flick above 0.9 in all the time I've had it. I don't play games or edit video and for the most part just use MS Office apps for working from home, pictures, music and YouTube. I have now gone completley the other way and am going to make do with a Mac Mini. I really don't like the iMac shiny displays and much prefer my own mat finish 24" screen. It sometimes helps to have a different perspective on things. [/QUOTE]
