Narrowed it down to
Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield 3.2GHZ
or
Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
Read some reviews saying that the sandy bridge would be faster for most tasks. But would it really be faster for backtesting and live trading with all other things being equal?
I would be using 12Gb if I were to go with the bloomfield and 8 or 16gb if I were to use the sandy bridge as it is only dual channel.
Interestingly the bloomfield is only $15 cheaper and it first came out about a year and a half ago. Sandy bridge just came out this year I believe.
Need my new build to be extremely fast with no lag.
Thanks
