Default Intel processors

I am kind of lost when I am looking up intel processors tonight. I see
they have made a processor with HT technology, and now they have a new
Pentium D. I am going to be working with Reason 2.5, and I do tend to
use a lot of processing power . I guess I don't know which technology
would be better to have for my musical applications. I typically run 1
program at a time, but I have been known to multi-task. I would assume
to just buy the lastest and greatest. What do you all think?

AMD Athlon, 98SE.

DISCLAIMER: I've been using AMD since the
beginning and am familiar with the issues
that can develop with the various chipsets.

A non-tweakhead who wants to plug-and-play
should probably stick with a common Intel P4.
Avoid the distractions that can take away
from creativity.
Getting burnt at the bleeding edge a few times
has caused me to NOT be an 'early adopter'.

Buy AMD?


It may not be a clear cut choice for single core processors, but I found
a text somewhere explaining that the AMD dual core design appeared to be
wiser than the Intel dual core design.

Kind regards

This one's an Athlon 1400 clocked at 1540. The extra speed warms it up by
about another 2C.

W98SE, Only 256M ram actually but cachemanager tells me I always have plenty
left. 2 IBM 60G deskstars confiured as a raid mirror completes the more
interesting stuff.

It's just my home desktop PC.
