I'm looking at a new cpu for a system that mainly does a lot of media encoding. I use TMPEG, & Ulead DVD Workshop 2 most of the time, also use Virtual Dub a bit. I've seen a lot of posts saying dual core is great for encoding but which media apps are REALLY multi threaded and therefore see a real benefit, rather than those which just "seem a bit faster".
I'm torn between dual core or a very high clock single core. Opterons are mostly out as they are so hard to find other than the 144.
