Hello everyone, I'm buying a new Pc to combine Cubase SX 3 with Reason 3 rewired along with VSTi's and effects. Since my set-up will be 80-90 percent software, i'm asking ...Which is the best processor for cubase ? P4 or Athlon64 ? Does HT work in P4, or an Athlon64 can make it faster ? Which one is more stable ?

(i just hit ESC accidentally and deleted a looong post... grrrrrr)
my personal view on this: Athlon64. i am about to do an upgrade on my system too and i have been reading and searching a lot about it lately. here's my conclusions which i hope can be helpful...
i am going for the Athlon64 on the new 939-socket as it supports dual-channel DDR memory (older 754-socket supports memory on a single channel). especially the latest 3200+ (939-socket) is built with 0.09ì technology and is an extremely good overclocker (opposing to Intel's 0.09ì processors which have temperature problems).
if you are buying now, go for a motherboard with the nForce3 Ultra chipset (MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum for example) which supports the new 939-socket with 4 SATA + 4 PATA controllers in any RAID, but uses the AGP bus for graphics card (which will be dated in a year).
if you can, wait for a month (or two) until the new nForce4 Ultra chipset motherboards come to greece, which will support the new PCI Express bus (the replacement of AGP) for the new graphics cards. i am personally waiting for this one, as it also supports SATAx2 drives and many more.
hope i helped
