    I have a dv9700t with the 2.5GHz t9300 and use DVD Fab Platinum to do alot of DVD encoding to iPod and just to backup as well. Usually a movie will take around an hour to convert to iPod with this program and it's much faster than Handbrake with my MacBook. I was just curious if anyone knew how much faster these encodes would go if I bought the m9200t desktop with the Q9450 2.66GHz Quad processor with Nvidia 8600GT 512 Memory and 4GB of RAM. I am also just curious what the computer utilizes during this process.
    Thanks!

    First all of, it's a quad core processors, so the speed depends on whether your programs can use all cores. The rest - vid card, ram, hd, etc - has little effective on conversion time
