  3. swap i7-930 -> 970?

    Hello,

    so far I'm happy with my PC slave. It's i7-930 based, overclocked to 3,5 GHz (with 24 GB RAM)

    So now that the i7-970 has come down in price, I'm contemplating this one (most people seem to easily overclock it to 4 GHz).

    Hence my questions:

    would the 6 cores of the 970 get me, say 30-40% more speed for MIR SE, and probably help when MIR PRO comes?

    (No, i will not go the Sandybridge route now, this PC is to freshly built ...)

    Thnx for opinions

    Michael
