thanks a lot guys!
Interesting points from you all... specially RPG1WIZARD

maybe i could buy a e8400 and buy a quad later the board support it anyway. but i dont think it will support the latest quad core cpu in 1 or 2 years, but maybe some cpu like qx9650 will be available at a good price.

2 last questions

1. but Right now can i see any difference in my windows application with a quad instead of a core duo ? i thought a core duo was good to for multithreading like burning a cd with nero when decoding a movie in same time...

2. but i look at the stats of the e8400 and q9450. i think a oc q9450 at 3.0ghz will be = to a e8400 with stock speed in pcsx2. right ?
