RE: Basic questions

122.121.163.252

I'm not cics, but here's my take on your questions:

1) A powerful CPU underclocked consumes less energy than a weak CPU operating at its normal clock speed. My AMD 4850e can *barely* handle 4x upsampling at 2.5G, while E7200 can easily handle 192k@145snr when clocked at 1.02G.

2) Fully optimized XP is superior to fully optimized Vista in terms of sonics, though I do admit that Vista sounds much better than XP if both are unoptimized.

3) I don't get your point. Hi-end audio equipment are - almost without exception - very sensitive.
