I am working my way through my pile of computers in the hope my
daughters won't have to (in the fullness of time!).
I have one with a Gigabyte Z68X-UD5-B3 board and an i5 2500K 2.3 GHz CPU.
Nice machine but slowish.
There's a couple of i7 3770 3.4 GHz on eBay/ Would it be worthwhile
having a punt at one?

The i5 2500K is 3.3 Ghz. The i7 3770 is reckoned to be 5% faster.

The 3770 hyperthreads, the 2500K doesn't. Your call as to whether that's >useful for your workload, but CPUbenchmark makes it a 35% difference.

Many thanks Theo :-)
I tried to find a site like that with no success, bookmarked now.
I am very tempted to change direction and go for a Geekom NUC, perhaps an advance Christmas present as mince pies are on sale now!
