"2core cpu with 1.8 ghz speed is just = to 3.6 singl core"... What is this? That's not true. My CPU is Core2Quad Q9550 2,83GHz so my processor speed is 2,83x4=11,32GHz? So not true. It's still 2,83GHz CPU with 4 cores, and each one of them can do some prosesses, and if you working with some rendering program you will notice the diference. Even if you have 1core CPU overclocked at 15Ghz with same arcitecture and bus speed it's not faster than this C2Q. If you want I'll prove this to you. I'm an arcitect, but my hoby are electronics, especially computers, so believe me, I know. Peace. @eliboi

Etc. I'm an industrial designer focused on product design (advanced surface modelling with Alias software) and high-end photorealistic rendering (i'm currently trying Maxwell render). It's a shame Core 2 Extreme and Xeon chips arent standard on mobile workstations, so I'll have to make my best on core 2 duo processors.

I am an editor of video content, 3D animator/modeler and graphic artist. Programs I curently use: Pinnacle, Premiere, After Effects, Lightwave 3D and Acid. I would like to move into Avids higher end editing software and other 3D programs. I have been researching my options but have gotten woefully behind on computer tech ie: dual/quad core, L1, extreme, mother boards, 32/64 bit etc. I am looking at Dells computer with L1 processor but have been stuck before with being limited to software/hardware compatability (Matrox)so I am gun shy. Trouble is I am a user with only some tech skills. I need a computer that meets these needs: editing, animation and music creation. A tall order as I am discovering. Can you lead me to sites that talk in not to technical language or specific equipment that you can recommend. Of course cost is an issue but have put this off to long and must buy now. Thanks for help. I am looking for a new computer. I am an editor of video content, 3D animator/modeler and graphic artist.
