[QUOTE="lil, post: 158943"] This is a hotly contested issue for sure. IMO, the Dual 2.3 will beat the Dual-core 2.0, whether a Dual-core 2.3 will match up is as yet not quite know. However from what I have heard from video editing professionals (Apple accredited Video Solutions experts), the performance of the Dual core 2.3 to the Dual-processor 2.3 is certainly the same, with one saying that it was discernably faster when using Final Cut Pro on the dual-core 2.3s. This may be to do with the new DDR-2 memory architecture, amongst other changes beyond the transition from 970FX to 970MP. Whether you wish to go from the PCI-X based Dual 2.3 to a PCI-E DualCore 2.0 is a matter of whether the drop in performance is a big one or not, and whether you could accept that for the gains in PCI express compatibility, faster RAM etc. Personally, if I had a Dual 2.3, I'd ideally want the Dual-core 2.3, but then it is a case of what you appreciate most. You can read more here: (there are other bits in the post but you should be able to pick out the dual-core vs. dual-processor arguments) As for the 'Quad-Core' G5 vs. Dual-processor G5 2.7; I have no comments from anyone as no one I have contacts with has used one, I do know that the video guys are very happy with the Dual-core systems they have seen (2.0s and 2.3s) and view them as a decent upgrade.
