[quote name='Fraktal' post='252068' date='Jul 31 2008, 02:42 PM']Still, whats the point of buying a quad core, expensiver, hotter, powerhungry processor if your applications cant take advantage of 4 cores parallel processing?[/quote]
i was kindof thinking the same thing...my dual-core machine isn't even stretched by what i do, and if you're running a 'lightweight' daw...
i'll admit i'm no expert on these things, but i'd say have a think if you really need the processing power of a quad-core, given then noise and power consumption considerations.
