Guys, just looking for alittle input.

I'm looking to do some HD editing. As of right now I'm going to use a X2 4400+. I know that the advantage of having dual processors over dual cores is that a dual processor setup won't have to use the same hyper-transport or memory controller like the X2. However, from what I have gathered, a single hyper-transport has enough bandwidth for the dual core under a heavy dose of HD intensity?

I'm looking for efficiency and don't want to have an over-kill. I know that HD is intensive, however, I'm not running a workstation supplying a 14 story office with data, in which case a dual processor setup would be what I need.
HOWEVER, If anyone thinks a dual-processor setup is needed, then I'll go that route.

Any input is tremedously appreciated.
