I like the i5 offering where the CPU can spike one core clock up to speed things up. Seems like the best of both worlds, when you need multiprocessor speed you have it, when one process needs more it can also have it. As far as silent it has been all about fan choice. I custom build all mine so I can pick and choose the features I want in case/fans/etc. Thanks, Robert - -- Robert Comstock Comstock RD, Inc.
