I cant see people going for a dual over a quad unless prices of the quads are going up. I serpose for none gamers they may do but even then if your encoding or anything youll go for a quad.

This must be aimed at the laptops and just working computers.

I'm gonna go for a dual at the start purely for overclocking reasons, I want to see what they can pull. After a few months though i will probably go to quad.

 

[MumboJumbo]

you clearly have a lot of spare cash

 

[sargatanas]

Not really, The duals aren't that expensive and will offer performance which definetly will do for a few months.

Point is your buying a dual then a quad for no reason when you could just get a quad and save money. Therefore its just throwign the money away for no reason.

How? I will likely be able to sell the dual on for not much less than I paid for it, and it gives me a few months to play around with it.

Whoa great price this processor. The dropped features "virtualization or Trust Execution Technology" aren't really of much use to normal home users anyway now are they? Think I'm not gonna go Dual core anymore but still very tempting...
