Re: Core 2 Duo E8400 vs. Core 2 Quad Q6600

What about the future? Say 1-2 years? Would then the C2Q be better for gaming? I'm asking because I want it to game well for at least 2-3 years.

The future is great, but I don't expect any games coming out in 2009 to be quad-core capable. Even games that use dual-core right now don't do so very efficiently. The best bet if buying a system right now is the E8400.

Besides, if you need to, you can always buy a quad-core down the road if you need to.

However, i'd reccomend waiting until Novemeber. As this is when Nehalem comes out, and the prices on socket 775 products will come down substantially - And you can purchase a Nehalem product if you have the money.
