Intel® Processor Q6600 Quad Core™ 2.40GHz

or

E8500 Core 2 Duo Processor (3.16GHz, 6MB, 1333MH

Im just considering possibilities at the moment. I know one processor is slightly quicker than the other, but its a dual core and not quad core, so im unsure.
 
I dont plan to do anything too demanding, mainly gaming, but a reasonable amount of photoshop/dreamweaver.

There wont be any video editing. I was thinking the Quad core more for future proofing (as mentioned above), but then I thought i was futureproofing 2 years ago when i bought the x2 739 pin; things just dont stand still long enough to ever get the future proofing.
