Ok but i read E6600 ^^ Although Quad core is cool, how many applications/games are make use of this cpu? Maybe it's good to have a mobo that supports QC and wait with buying one now until newer released and price will be lower. I mean will you really notice difference between E6850/Q6600 right now?
It's the common argument, but it's really a quite weak argument nowadays, there are a lot of games and applications that already use multiple cores if available and the number is increasing at a reasonable speed now.
( @Frank what did you use to monitor the cores? I've got a Logitech G15 keyboard that shows core usage in real-time and my quad core uses up to at least 3 cores in the heaviest applications and all 4 cores whilst playing Supreme Commander...)
I wouldn't recommend buying a single core at all, not just because a single core is NOT equal to a single core within a core 2 duo processor even if the Ghz are the same.. Besides I honestly haven't run into any problems whatsoever with either the quad core nor my core 2 duo with any program, even every old game that I own (Win XP-compatible games) run great with my quad core...
Cheers
