I have to keep everything I do on a budget so I opt to use more two year old processors than fewer newer ones. I always like to use AMD processors and there top of the line seem quite impressive but i am still stuck on a few OSX applications so run mostly INTEL. I am slowly migrating my q6600's to do render work and trying to upgrade my workstations to the qx9650. From what I have read there is little performance diff between these and the I7 with most of the difference being in power usage. What are you using to color correct and stabilize your tiffs?
