[Tbb-develop] What Do You Develop TBB On?

[Adrien G. <aj....@gm...>]

I'm considering getting an Intel Core 2 Quad-Core PC for my TBB/YetiSim
development.  This would be a bit of a purchase for me, and I'm curious what
others are using for their TBB development.  Does anyone have suggestions?
I know Intel makes TBB... but AMD has cheaper Quad-core processors, although
I have heard that due to cache design the Intel ones are better.  Any
comments?

I have access to both a 128 processor Itanium-2 system, and a dual-processor
quad-core Xeon... but I can't really run profiling tools on these systems to
analyze performance since they are a shared resource... and these systems
are usually under high load anyways.  The main point of a new system is for
analyzing performance.

Thanks,

AJ
