Mine has the 2.5 Ghz i5. Sounds fantastic with memory play and PM. Has 8 Gb RAM. Recently replaced the hard drive with a SSD. Used a Force 3, super fast read/write speed. Could not tell the SSD helped any with sound quality.
I know a SSD should not make a difference with memory play. Same with a faster processor. But hope springs eternal that some of these things will effect sound quality.

I'm not sure there would be a sonic difference between an i5 and i7 Dual Core. There was a big difference going from Dual Core 2.93 to an i7 Quad Core 2.3 for me.

The Force 3 is super fast in Sata 3. At least the computer boots up fast :).

Amarra has released their new version 2.31. Actally sounds pretty good listening today.

  Thanks Mercman
  Just to get it clear. Am I correct in asuming it was the quad core that was the better sounding option in your system ?
