THanks

Also I'm totally confused is a quad core 2.33 mghz better than dual core 2.66mghz?

Also am I barking up the wrong tree altogether

My opinion? PC world would go up in my opinion if they let you try out a trial version of vegas and a sample AVCHD file on a demonstration model.

Thanks Mate,
Knowing pc world I doubt it

So just wondering is fast dual core better than a slower quad?
Alex

The computer will feal faster with a higher clock speed but it will encode much faster with a quad core.

Answer your question?
