Help! Ultra 6 or Pro 6
Hi. Welcome some honest advice. I have a Sparc NV which has saved me amazingly well - currently loaded with 4x WD Green drives. Just starting to feel a bit slow when loading up 5gb HD movie files...
I'll be using MP4s wrapped in MKV file formats, which I believe need to be transcoded to play on play station. CPU model numbers alone suggest that Pro 6 is the clear choice. However, the benchmark comparison below doesn't show improvement while encoding with either CPU. Still on the fence but closer to pulling the trigger. Thanks for sharing the CPU specs link.
Pro6 – E5300 2.6Ghz CPU (dual core)
Ultra6 Plus – E2160 1.8Ghz CPU (dual core)
