I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to calculate theoretical cpu capacity required for a system. I realise that there are many factors that will change this on different machines i.e different sound and graphics cards, what programs et al. A google search revealed little. Reason I ask is I'm shopping for a twin cpu machine for my D.A.W and was wondering a way to reason out the spec that is a little better than 'just throw more cpu and memory at it'. And how do you determine which graphics cards use the least cpu cycles, I seem to remeber there used to be a list based on xbench - but I can't seem to find it. Currently I use a AMD 1200 with 768Mb ram which easily hits the limit with my 1010lt. While my searches revealed lots of tuning information for graphics cards, databases and web servers, there seemed little in the way of doing the same for sound cards. Any input would be appreciated.
