I use a Proline 16803 camera and at full resolution the files are 32.4mb so with my core duo 2 laptop I can only process about 4 at a time and even then it can be a tad slow.

Definately the i7 is the better and faster Processor make sure that your operating system is 64bit or you can not take full advantage of the 4gb and all your drivers will need to be digitally signed or they won't run as microsoft say it is a security feature to stop unsigned drivers from running
