Check this site out: |

Click on the top section and it will sort by that score. Example, you |
| 14 |
may want to click CPU Value to get the most bang for the buck. One |
| 15 |
could click on Rank and then go down the price column until you find one |
| 16 |
within your budget. Example, if you are willing to spend $1,000 on a |
| 17 |
CPU, the third one in the ranking will give you the biggest bang. It's |
| 18 |
the third fastest that has been tested and it is a LOT cheaper than |
| 19 |
$2,700 for the one in first place. Me, I'd go way down the list until I |
| 20 |
got to about number 90. It costs about $230.00. That would be my upper |
| 21 |
end budget. |

That said, I have this right now. |

Those are with portage's work directory on spinning rust. It is faster |
| 43 |
on tmpfs but if it is going to upgrade a combination of those, I need |
| 44 |
more ram. I plan to upgrade to 8 cores and 32GBs of ram at some point. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Hope that helps. |
