I'm using a T7200 because it's the CPU that came with my laptop. And since it's a Merom, there's nothing really worth upgrading to


There's no difference at all between emulated and hardware in the way it sounds.
Just like comparing the difference in image quality between a 9500GT and a 9800GTX+... if you apply the same settings, they will render the exact same pixels in each frame. Performance, on the other hand, differs greatly.

I have no doubt a tri/quad-core or even a faster dual-core could handle EAX 4.0 with no problems (my T7200 only "complains" with last-gen games). But I'd advise the low-end CPU users to refrain from using this software, unless they upgrade the CPU or get an actual X-Fi.
