Re: Setting for permanent underclocking

Key things needed from CPU are: low clock speed, low power consumption and excellent throughput (workrate). Its the last bit that makes it very difficult. So while you can get low speed & sometimes with low power, without throughput, correct 24/96 upsampling suffers. SRC upsampler is process intensive. For 24/192, processing loads grow much more and its always good to have plenty of headroom to do this, hence Core 2 Duo.

Some of Intel's Core 2 Duo for mobile looks very good too but its more expensive. Would need to buy a laptop (which has some advantages over a desktop but suffers in other areas).
