So earlier this week we had some storms roll through and our power flickered. It flickered just enough for all the computers to reboot. However, my BI server didn't come back. That darn power flicker took out my mainboard. So I'm building a new one and can't decide on an I5 or I7 processor.
This is a dedicated PC for BI. At the moment I only have 4 cams but still have 2 more to add and may add a few more in the future. All the cams are running at 1080, 15fps and Direct to disk. So my question is should I spend the extra $100 for the I7? What makes the I7 a better choice over the I5. Does that hyperthreading mean that much?
PS. I'm building a system because the only things I need to buy are the motherboard and cpu. All the other items I already have.
