Hi All,

As the title says, just thought i'd let you guys know for anyone thats interested.

It was a decision that plagued my life for the past 2 weeks, bought the E6850 in the end tho.
 
I made the decision to buy the faster dual core (E6850) as opposed to the Q6600 since i'm judging my needs on what i do now and what core will offer me the best performance the majority of times.

I would mainly Game, Watch Video, Surf, Office Applications.

I've tried buying furture proof products before but it never really works, as many have said by the time applications/games have been optimised to make use of multiple cores, the next generation of chips will be out, with god knows how many cores: 8, 16, 32????? i dunno....

So by then your quad will be obselete!!! Thats my opinion anyway
 
(Nice spec you got Bigdave)

TBH i aint got a clue about how to overclock so i wont be doing that....
So ive made my decision its been purely as they come outta the box!!!

Too late for me anyway i already ordered the dual!!!

I am sure a Quad running at the same speed would be better
