You will save a lot of money and end up with a better computer. Do a search on the forum for relevant retailers in NZ with good feedback. If you have about $8000+ spare then get a dual CPU system as they are the future. The multitasking ability of a dual will out-perform any single CPU system. If the program is multi-threaded and eventually more programs will be because of HT technology, you get an even bigger performance increase, sometimes up to 100% if its really well coded. If interested visit http://www.2cpu.com and post some questions in the newbie forum after having a look round. |

Plus we have intel cancelling their R&D on the next pentium chip and switching focus to Dual core cpu's,no need for 2 sockets with them babies. |
