That's really cool, thanks for the responses, can anyone advise me a really good cpu then ?

Personally had no trouble with the i7 920, but I doubt it's the best one out there. I almost never go to 70% unless the project is exceptionally large with no frozen tracks

Can't really go wrong with an i7. The 920 mentioned above, for example, is plenty awesome for music stuff.
