Computer Based System

It would be pointless going after a quadcore or anything silly like that if your only going to run the one programme off it.

Multi cores mean you can multi thread one program.
Providing the software uses multithreading it can make use of as many cores as it has threads.

I write and sell PC software and one of my programs makes use of 4 threads at once which would be spread amongst the four cores. If the PC has less than four cores then the threads are just time division multiplexed.

I believe the new Intel i7 processor quad core can run 8 threads simultaneously. 2 threads per core.

All depends on who the user is going to be, Look at Tom, He has a Ryger controller that he programs at home so he doesn't need to take out a pc. Also how many users actually use their lights sound to light and also with a CA-8 controller?

this shall be different

This is true and boy its much better than taking a laptop. lol.

But having said that I take my laptop to search my database of music so I can find a cd.

Also, I can still hook up the Ryger to the laptop, this then gives me more choice of shows to play.

As for the CA-8, I still use mine on the impossibled and marvled. I even use it on the Dynamos as I havent got round to sorting out shows for them on the Ryger.

Handly little tool incase the Ryger or Laptop goes, so there is my backup. lol.
