Hi
does it make sense to upgrade an i5 to i7 with almost same GHz?
i have a Thinkcentre M93p with i5-4570 3,2GHz
and could upgrade to a Intel Core i7 (i7-4770) 3.4 GHz
but i doubt that make sense, or am i wrong?
regards
reinhard

Reinhard, if it is just for your Xara Desktop application, I would say no.
Invest in an SSD and more memory first off.
Acorn
oh i have already two ssd, one with OS second for swap, temp, xara autobackup, and so on.
thx for feedback.
is salt toxic?
It depends on the number of quantity.
But sometimes i have to import files from Autocad with a mega lot of objects, impossible to work with.
or i have artworks with a lot of ungrouped objects, than it is slow.
but i tried other programms, no alternative at all !!!
Xara is very fast!
The CPU won't make too much difference in this your case. You want a lot of RAM, 16GB as a minimum and a graphics card with as many CUDA cores (nVidia) as your pocket will allow. Quadro cards are where the smart money is.
rsrsrs said he sometimes has to import a lot of content from AutoCad and ungrouped objects. There's a fair bit of graphical grunt taken up by the GPU, freeing the CPU. AutoCad (if used on the same machine) will perform better with a Quadro as well, they're even recommended in the specs from AutoDesk.
Graphics software typically like an abundance of RAM and GPU grunt, I presume Xara would be no different if you're pushing a lot of objects in one document.
