I am currently running these specs...
Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon
CPU: Intel Core i7 W3520 @ 2.66GHz (QPI: 4.8 GT/s)
RAM: 8GB (4 X 2GB DDR3 ECC) each 1066 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 - 512MB of VRAM
if there is something more I should specify please let me know.
here is what I am planning on upgrading to...just a new processor really
3.33GHz Quad-Core 'Nehalem' (Intel X3580, QPI: 6.4GT/s)
dont plan on adding more RAM or a new video card....unless its strongly suggested otherwise! from other threads i am drawing the conclusion that clock speed seems to give the biggest improvements and is what Dolphin relies on more, as it only utilizes two cores even if you have more.
kinda just looking to get a second opinion on my own research. let me know if i will see some improvements or if i got this ass-backwards. thanks!!
