If you are sure your motherboard supports core 2 then I would say yes it would be worth doing especially if you are doing batch file manipulation on the images.
What is your main complaint with your system when handling images? According to Intels site it does support Core2Duo.

The main problem is speed of processing the images. What I need to do is stack multiple images. As stated I can load sometimes over 20 25+Mb images into a program. The program detects the number of stars in the "light" images then creates a "master dark frame" from the loaded "dark images and then does a dark subtract of each image from the "master dark" file to help reduce noise. It then adjusts the field from the "flat field" images loaded to help reduce uneven illumination which causes gradients. Then it will align and stack all the corrected light images to create one final image. Then I need to do some final adjustments in Photoshop of the single stacked image. All those steps take time and power and I would just like to make the time a bit less by adding some processing power. But only if it may make a noticeable difference. -- mbsastronomy.com |
