I don't know the effects the cache would have, Dave. Maybe Neal could tell us. This is the Phenom II X4 920 processor, and must be a premium one because I see it costs more. You could look up a performance comparison between it and others on the performance test passmark website. One thing

I have a high performance video card and it helps PSDR, if only indirectly. I always have half a dozen other things--radio related and not--running at the same time. The graphics card picks up some of the cpu load for those applications, leaving more oomph for PSDR. No, Brian, there actually

Jerry, That is spectacularly low CPU usage. I have a Athlon II X4 640 that has a faster clock speed of 3Ghz and I still get CPU loads from min 6% to 29% and the 4th core runs heavily on my machine. Cores 1, 2, and 3 hardly motor on my PC but Power SDR seems to want to monopolise and flog
