I currently run a E6420 @3.2 GHz and it performs very well. lots of CPU power, stable and easy overclocking, but runs relatively cool with low power consumption.

For A/V workstations I would prefer Intel, AMD makes gread CPUs too, but the Intel chipsets / boards IMO are still much better and mor compatible the the AMD stuff.

What do you think about this configuration?:

Mother : ASUS P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA 775 Chipset P35

Processor : INTEL CORE 2 DUO E6750 2.66 MHZ 1333 FSB 4MB

RAM : G. SKILL 2 X 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 5-5-5-15

thanks!!!!

I just bought and set up a Asus P5K deluxe with Intel Core 2 Quad, and 4 gig Corsair Ram. Kicks like it's on steroids...

Only thing is. You need a pcie graphics card wich will overlap PCI slot 1 (if it got the silent cooler rib attached). This leaves you with PCI 2 and 3 for your pulsar boards and a really cramped space. I guess I might experiensing heat issues wich I (you) need to address.

Another issue is if you really need all the features the Deluxe issue gives you (2xgblan, wifi, etc..) I found myself turning of these features beacause of Pulsar stability.. But then againg the bios support 2 bios profiles which makes this board handy with a dual boot XP (one for Scope and one for other other stuff).

Why not Quad? Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh...174 loaded SSL comp in cubase and only 50%cpu :D
