  I am running an Intel 12 core i7-3930 CPU @ 3.2 GHz;
Windows 7, 64 bit, 32
 gig of ram. The man who built this for me said it was overkill, I think it
 screams. If you are going to spend some money I think this is the way to go.
 The basic system came in at 3k and includes a Raid 0 with 3 - 2 terabit hard
 drives. For more information on suggested computer build configurations go
 to: videoguys <http://www.webvideoguys.com/dadsgrads-jun.html>  and look
 around. 
Actually it's a six core, HT CPU, but sure it screams. As far as I can see on my
machine and as others quoted, HT helps with dvd-o-matic. Can you share some numbers on
encoding speed?
I was thinking about AMDs as well because you get more cores for less money, but it seems
they can not be used as efficiently as with Intels.
Also, the machine may well be used for various other types of video decoding/encoding,
editing, AVCHD, h.264 - and from Sandybridge on, the Intels have some extremely fast video
acceleration features to aid in these tasks.
