Hey guys 
I am currently running a E4300 (as you may have gathered from the title
) but am considering gettng the Q6600 (once again, as you probablly guessed).
Spec is:
4GB ram
8800 GTS 320MB (another thing I am considering upgrading - to a 8800GT 512MB)
E4300 @2.7 GHZ (does go higher, but can't be bothered to fiddle around at the moment since I got some new ram, so just using a safe setting)
Anyhow, I was just wondering - in peoples oppions, how much of a boost I would get from the quad / extra cache.
Now, I do some gaming, but also a lot of general work. I wouldn't mind doing a little more video encoding, but at the moment I do a little but of light encoding.
However, I do use a lot of Photoshop / other image programs.
I did notice a fairly massive jump from my old venice @2.7 GHZ to my E4300, (ok, I had more ram with the new PC too, but I more meant in general multi tasking). Is there a similarly large jump with the quad, or at the least a noticable bennefit ?
Thanks
