When people ask, "What's a good system for Cliffs of Dover?" they're not asking," what's a good system for Cliffs of Dover and running professional video editing software?". Understand?

They don't want to throw away thousands of dollars on a system that's going to be spanked by an $800 one a year from now. They don't care if the i7 will allow them to render their CGI nerd fantasies 40 seconds faster. Nobody cares about that!

Dude, are you blind? I told them to buy a cheaper cpu then others suggested. Seriously you need to read... They are saying to buy sandybridgre 32nm cpus, I said to buy the older, cheaper but currently comaparable Nehalem range which is gen 1 i7. I also never suggested to by a gulftown cpu. Now next time read the post before you respond, or atleast try to know what the differance is between cpus. Kthx
