although a haswell's pentiums can beat a core2quad with ease.

Eh.. It would?
kitamesume:
yeah apparently a sandybridge pentium at 2.9Ghz has close performance with a Q9550.

since theres really no direct comparison, just to give an example, haswells have 21% more performance on the same clock than sandy bridge, which puts haswell pentiums equal to or above the Q9550.
edit: not to mention the part that haswells are insanely power efficient during light loads.
edit2: this made me wonder, if anyone remembers ARM's big.LITTLE architecture? whatever you call that, i wonder if intel could do the same with their core and atom chips.
slap two i-cores and two atom cores and voala, you got a pseudo quadcore chip that could perform far better than an i3.

Would NAS use a lot of system resources? I mean you guys have been saying it doesn't. When I transfer files, will it use system resources or the resources from the main computer that's accessing the drivers?
halfelite:
If you are only using it for say storage and nothing else. It takes very little cpu resources. It is heavy in DISK I/O and ram usage depending if you use freenas. But other then that not much you only get into resources when you start adding torrent clients and video transcoders like plesk and things to it.

Yeah, just storage and playing music/anime from it. Transferring to/from files as well. That's it.
I also don't really have a limit on my budget, but obviously I want the best bang for my dollar and meaningful. I think I'll switch back and get the Pentium 3.0Ghz DC with a 6 port SATA connection mobo.
I'm also going to use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit for OS.
