I will use this computer for
dual boot xp & ubuntu
I multitask a lot but here is the basics
mainly multimedia and p2p, azureus, photoshop, movie maker, itunes, firefox, dvd decrypter, starcraft
I have 2GB RAM, a good video card, etc
I was originally told to get an E6320. Later I was told an E6550, but was also told that this was overkill. But someone said the E6550 was G0 stepping so it would take less power.
I am leaning towards the E6320 as it is cheaper and I don't do much gaming. Having a dedicated video card will be a huge step up in performance I believe so I don't think the CPU will matter as much anymore. I'm used to gaming on integrated video. But the E6550 will make it more future proof won't it? Now this is even worse because the E6750 is only $5 more.
