Now that Vegas has GPU acceleration, and it seems to be quite powerful from what I'm reading, I'm wondering how much CPU power is really necessary for Vegas? Now I realize that a computer is used for more than Vegas but honestly a dual core 2100 (4 cores with hyperthreading) is a very capable CPU for image editing and other applications.
Even assuming a 2100 is not powerful enough, how about a 2500k quad? How much CPU is necessary in Vegas with a good GPU?
I would love for someone with a fast system and a good GPU to disable some cores, or lower the multiplier to reduce CPU performance and see what that does for GPU performance. It's pretty easy for anyone with a "k" series CPU to lower to the multiplier to 20 or so.
