      I can tell you that my 2.66 Core 2 Duo pc can encode high definition video approx. twice as fast as my older 3.0 Ghz Pentium D dual core pc. A newer Quad Core would probably be about twice as fast as the Core2Duo.

        propably , but to use all 4 cores you have to use VISTA or LINUX i think.

                From my understanding, core 2 is 64bit and dual core is 32bit

                  Pentium D (dual core) is nothing but 2 Prescott Processors side by side… runs very hot, uses a ton of power.

                  Intel Core 2 Duo processors are next gen processors from Intel on 65 nm platform… developed from Ground up with new Architecture called Core… so they are whole new Processors just Jump like Pentium 2 to Pentium 3 or Pentium 4… Expect one Core 2 Duo Lowest End Processors like E4400/E4300 taking up and beating any Intel Pentium D.... runs way cooler and more efficient too.

                    Everyone should be buying core2duo's. They do outperform the dual core processor quite a bit as long as you don't buy the lowest version. To give you an example, a quad core 2.4 is about 2x as fast as a dual core 3.0. Honestly, the sweet spot in price performance is a quad core now.

                    http://www.tomshardware.com in the processor section has a tool that lets you view performance differences between all of the consumer amd and intel processors that is a pretty good guage to use

                    Cheers,

                        Sweet! Let us know how it works out. Make sure you get 4 gigs of RAM with that, it will make a significant difference.

                            ive upgraded all of my dual core's to the core2duo's - i have 30+ dual core's sitting in a box ill sell cheap if you want some =]

                            im using about 30% less power and encoding about 40% faster since the upgrades

                            for what its worth the 1.8 core2 overclocks so nice that they perform as well as the 2.4 core2's. all of them are running between 2.8 and 3.0 ghz.

                                So we've learned that Core 2 Duo is signifigantly better then the Dual Core.... I'm interested to know as well if what was said about the quad core needing vista or linux is true.

                                  C2D is dual core. Dual core just refers to 2 cores on a single chip. C2D is just the chip architecture, like p1-4, xeon, etc... And, yes dual and quad cores work just fine in XP.

                                    If you go with more than 2GB RAM, you'll need to run a 64bit version of your OS.
