Simple question: What will be faster?
So I am writing up a build for a video editing machine to handle to monitors and be very powerful.
Option 1 OCed Q6600 @ 3.6G Asus P5E X38 4GB DDR2 1200 150GB Raptor 9600GT Vista Ultimate Option 2 2 Quad-core Harpertown's 5420's @ 2.5G Tyan 5400 Dual LGA771 8GB DDR2 667 150GB Raptor 9600GT Vista Ultimate Each will be running the most recent version of Pinnacle Studio and I want the video to edit and render/compile as quickly as possible as there is 3+ years worth of it, and much more in the future. OK, so, I want a definitive answer. No "shoulds", "maybes", "coulds", just tell me which option will be faster for this purpose. Thanks

Option 2 is faster due to the amount of ram plus the processors
the hard drive sizes are identical so I advise to get option 2. good luck

The processors however would be better.
