ok so I have a huge dilema here. It's between these two processors.
i7 930 @2.8ghz
turbo boost to 3.06
bus speed @ 4.8GT/s
Or
i7 870 @2.93
turbo boost to 3.60
bus speed @ 2.5GT/s
the 870 has a way higher turbo boost looking very attractive, but the 930 has a much highers bus speed.
Which will be better for dolphin?
keep in mind that Overclocking will be out of the question because it will be an OEM pre-built computer from a manufacturer. I have a really hard time with lego's.... a computer would be a nightmare to build.
