Re: [Hardware] Average Quad Core or high dual core?
I've got a q6600 and the quad core REALLY comes in handy for doing renders in modo, and rendering normals/AO/etc in xnormal. If your apps are multi-threaded the quadcore is going to be a lot better for these CPU intensive tasks. I would even sya go for the i7 920, but that will likely push up the cost of your system quite… -
[Hardware] Average Quad Core or high dual core?
I'm sorry if it sounds like a silly question but I'm not really good at analysing hardware specs. I'm about to buy an Alienware M17X (YAY) with : Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000(2.00GHz,1066MHz,6MB L2 Cache) 4 gigas DDR3 (1333MHz Dual Channel) Geforce GTX 260M 1 Giga Vram etc. I was really surprised to see that some dual core are… -

I'd go for a Quad, those things are pretty cheap nowadays. i7's are still quite expensive, and i'd wait for the newer versions (i5/i9) to come out. -
Re: [Hardware] Average Quad Core or high dual core?
If it will be your main workstation, I'd say go for the quad core. Definitely better at handling multiple apps at the same time and will also help out when rendering. Since its a laptop though, heat is going to be your main enemy and this beast will quickly overheat. You're going to want to spend the extra cash on a really… -
Re: [Hardware] Average Quad Core or high dual core?
I'd still say Alienware isn't worth your money. Look at some other brands like Lenovo or Sony. -
Re: [Hardware] Average Quad Core or high dual core?
thx for all the answers guys, it makes perfect sense now ! :) The configuration I chose is the maximum amount of money I can put into a PC (damn portable extra cost :/ ). So I guess, I'll go for this one and let's hope it won't be outdated too quickly (for a laptop, of course). As a side note, I made a few "VS" tests (with…
