Best Computer for Quartus Compile Times...

Has anyone done any benchmarking of compile times with different computer configurations? My main question is how much will it improve my compile times if I add additional processors to my system. ...

Hi haven't done any benchmarking, but basically the bigger the badder, the better.

Dual Quad's, if you have the memory and licenses to utilize do it, allows you to use Design Space Explorer to kick off multiple builds in parallel. This is extremely handy in getting the best design out of your system.

I can say anything definite between 32 and 64, I've only ran Xp Pro 32.
