Bill2, which one do you think i should get the intel i5 or intel i7. Looking towards 4 cores

Really depends on what you plan to use the machine for.

Also, you need to see the fine print. E.g. hyperthreading. Some Core i5 products have this feature, some dont. AFAIK, the Core i5 750 does not have hyper-threading, but it does have four physical cores. OTOH, the dual-core Core i5s do have hyper-threading.

What that means is that no Core i5 has more than four cores, physical or simulated. So, the Core i5 will not be as quick under multi-threaded work loads as i7.

Also, an overclocked core i5 can probably perform better than a stock i7, but an overclocked i7 will beat the hell out any i5.

If you are into gaming or serious video encoding stuff or are generally looking for a high end system, I'd say go for an i7. If you are looking for mainstream, the i5 will be the replacement for the current C2D machines.

Yeah, I do a little gaming but not a lot, but i want a good decent processor which gets the job done quick.

In that case, get the best i5 you can afford.

But, which series? like 450? 750?

Thats actually what i was looking at right now!!! Thanks! Petey7

Thinking of getting:

CPU: Intel Core i5 760 Quad Core
MBL MSI P55A-GD65

Which is the better processor the things i will do?

Intel Core i5-750 processor
or
Intel Core i5 -760 Processor

If they are the same price, grab the 760. They are basically the same chips, the 760 just has a slightly higher stock frequency.
