Hello,
I am considering having a system built from scratch, as it might be
cheaper, since I already have all of my programs, and OS on Disc.
Today there are quad core, and chips with 6 and 8 Cores.
I am looking to purchase the Fastest Chip and Memory I can
afford. I can not afford the Fastest chip on the market, but
something a lot less expensive.
I was thinking of a Quad core I7 or a Quad core AMD Chip. then I
came across the chips with 6 and 8 cores.
I am not going to play any sort of games. I will only be using MS
Office, and a Web Browser.
Web Speed is mostly controlled by the sort of Inter net service I pay for.
However, I do enjoy a quick and responsive system, even when doing
nothing more than calling up files in Office.
All of that to ask, should I bother with considering a 6 or 8 core chip?
I figure most programs I am likely to use, may not use but one or two
cores. But, I do enjoy a snappy response no matter what program I am using.
I thought of installing a Solid State Drive, as from what I have
seen, these drives just about double a systems over all speed.
I was hoping to avoid the SSD units at this time, as I do not know
the reliability, and length of life I can achieve from an SSD unit.
But, if any of you have some knowledge on these SSD units, or whether
or not a 6 or 8 core chip is over kill I would be interested in your
comments.
