I need this for audio processing/DAW work, working with plugins. Nothing else. No gaming, graphics or word processing. I use a multi-threaded audio program.
Which of these is the better pick in your opinions for my need? And whichever one is better, by how much? meaning, by what percentage roughly?
Pentium 4, (hyperTh) @ 3.2g, Springdale 865G.
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ @ 2.4g, Newcastle VIA K8M800/K8N800
Pentium D 940 Dual Core 3.2g, P965 ($600, building it myself)
I understand their specs/advantages/disadvantages on paper, but in performance reality, how different are they?
