***On Windows platform the speed of processor DOES count for quality of music reproduction. AMD Athlon64 X2 3800 sounds signifficantly better than AMD Athlon 64 3200...I am planning to UNDERclock processor by 25% and thus cut on heat emission. Less heat, less fan noise.***bobp -
This is very interesting. I have read about the notion that the CPU speed (as well as memory speed/latency) affects the sound quality, and have tried a few experiments of my own (inconclusive so far). But I'm confused by what you say. You say the faster processor sounds better, so why are you going to underclock it? I mean I understand what you said about heat and fan noise, but if it affects sound quality, why do it?
