|  Core 2 Duo Vs. Core 2 Quad
Building a new computer, was origionally planning on putting the E6750 in it but then i came across the Quad core stuff. Is it worth the extra 70 bucks? |

3.6ghz quadcore. Thats all im saying. If you play games AND have other programs open like ventrillo, firefox, chat programs, etc ect you will benefit from the extra cores. Future games such as crysis will also benefit from quad cores.

Hey massacreinfallx,
man...you haven't posted for ages....
Anyway, if you can afford the Q6600 without stretching the budget, then I'd say go for it. But an E6750 will do fine for your purposes.
As of now, dual core is slightly better in the gaming department, but in the future, more programs will be written and will support more than two cores.
