Hi
I have just chosen two processor with few GB ram for which i can afford.
I am not sure which will best fit for IM scripts (in PHP via exec).
Dual Core 2.8Ghz with 4GB DDR3 Ram
Quad Core 2.13GHz with 2GB DDR2 Ram
Which will be faster than one another?
Scripts will be just composting images over images including animated images composition.

ImageMagick is threaded. In general, it will be faster on a quad-core because it can split the work between 4 rather than 2 processors. However, ImageMagick also consumes copious amounts of memory so the more memory, the better. DDR3 is recommended because it can correct for memory errors. If you build the computer yourself (e.g. Newegg) you may be able for the same money get a Quad Core with 4GB DDR3 memory.

No I don't own computer.

Given your requirements, we recommend the faster dual-core with DDR3 memory.

Thanks for your help! I will go with it.
In future, I will try to upgrade to quad core + DDR3 + 4GB

Hi,
You said Imagemagick is threaded.
I am thinking to use 8 threaded Intel Processor.
My friend recommended me this.
Phenom II 955 Quad Core (4 cores)
8GB DDR3 RAM
Is this good? I don't know the threads of this processor.

I just got an answer from hardware forum
They said, in AMD core = threads
which means, AMD quad core will have 4 threads.
So, I guess intel's 4 core 8 thread processor is powerful

ImageMagick performs well for both the I7 and Xeon chipset. Choose whichever has the highest GHz rating. 3GHz or better is recommended.

Thanks for the help.
