Well done.
The question you have to ask yourself it if you want to play current high-end games, such as Crysis, Lost Planet, Gears of War, Bioshock, Unreal Tournament 3, etc. etc.
If you do, then a Quad-Core would be the better choice, but you'd have to overclock it to get the same level of performance in other apps.
Buy a Q6600 with the G0 stepping (important!) and a Tuniq Tower/Ultra 120 eXtreme cooler, and overclock to 3.2-3.5Ghz.
Good Luck. Oh, and you'd also need an 8800 GTX or better if you want the Quad. |
Not a single of of those games is quad core optomized :P
