May I ask why you would pick the quad core?
Quad core will be able to index with all four cores, reducing the indexing time.
Additionally, you stated that the Quad Core has a faster Turbo Boost speed, so when Logos is only using one core, it will run faster. It's a win/win.
Finally, by having four cores, you'll be able to run other CPU-intensive programs in parallel with Logos.
You said in another post:
"The work that Logos performs is distributed to background threads (that can run on other cores) whenever possible. However, code that interacts with the user interface may only run on one thread, so the app will feel faster if you purchase a higher-speed processor (with fewer cores)."
When I read this post in quotation marks, it makes me think I should go with a faster processor, but when I read the one at the top, you make me feel like The quad core would do a better job. I am slightly confused as to which one you think would be better?

I'd vote for a (the?) slower quad core & spend the difference on an upgrade of the disk to an SSD. As soon as my i7 machine comes out of warranty & I can save the $, that's what I'll be shopping for... Problem for me right now is prices on a 480Gb SSD. I no longer think 240 is big enough, so far I haven't seen anything in between, & the price jump is more than double in most cases for the 480Gb SSD.If you had to pick one to with for running Logos faster and smoother, which would you pick?
Here are my options.. both with a SSD:
Duel Core i7 2.8GHz with 3.3Ghz Turbo Boost
Quad Core i7 2.6GHz with 3.8Ghz Turbo Boost
Which is better for running Logos better?
If you have a quad core (any), adequate memory (at least 6Gb & a graphics card (1Gb on board memory minimum), then the only remaining bottleneck is disk--even if 7200rpm or even 10,000 rpm (WD Raptors). Only an SSD resolves that bottleneck, IMO.

Needs to be portable
Choose the quad core as it will index faster.

Will it run the program faster too? I have heard the more GHz you have the better it will run the program, but the more cores (like you said) will index faster.
Somsel">How about a Cray computer?
I would love to have one of those (just 1) for show & tell and just to play around with, however, the utility cost and extra space required would put me in the dark and out on the street. [:D]
