My Thanksgiving Vacation Project: Building a new looping computer w/Core 2 Duo
OK, maybe this is geeky, but it's on topic and hopefully of interest.
I just assembled a new computer that I plan to use with Mobius and
Bidule or Usine. It's got the Core 2 Duo E6400 processor.

If anyone is familiar with the Live5 Performance Test, this processor
has been generating some impressive numbers. My old 3.2Ghz P4 Prescott
based system (overclocked to 3.46Ghz) generated a score of 37% on the
test. My new Core 2 Duo system with the E6400 processor (no
overclocking) is scoring 20%. That drops to 12% if I use Live 6 with
multiple processor support. Overclocked, at least one ableton forum
poster is getting a score of 8% with this CPU.
