Hello gents, I just have a quick question to throw your way that I have been pondering for some time now. I am in the market for a new MacBook pro to use as my main audio computer. I currently run logic pro but I have been contemplating taking a look at PT10 or cubase. That's beyond the point though. My question is, what will be the performance difference between the 2.8ghz dual core i7 and the 2.2 quad core i7 as far as performance. Now I obviously know that with multi threading and what not, the i7 is way faster, but with the money I save, I will be upgrading to 8 or 16gb ram and a SSD. So scratch that last question, my REAL question is.. 2.8ghz dual core with 8gb memory and 128gb SSD to run my os and apps (I have an external drive for audio), or 2.2ghz quad core with 4gb ram and either a 5400 or 7200 rpm HDD.
Thanks guys!
Drew
P.s. currently I am running a Mac book with 2.16ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram and 5400rpm internal HDD... Obviously I hit some pretty severe bottle necks
