QuoteAt least for now it is clear that enthusiasts, who consider their PC as an investment to a certain degree, should not buy a dual-core system anymore.

Great. By the time I can afford a new system, it'll be octa-cores...

Very expensive, you'd be better with a 6600 or 6700 and overclock it. I have had my 6600 OC'd and stable at 3GHz (normally 2.4) and that was on the stock fan that came with it. Mmmm, wonder how it will run a 3.0 with my spanky new fan

Actually it made me less confused and more convinced that a quadcore is the way to go. OC that baby and you will have a monster. :devil:

and the big thing to rememeber is that unlesss the software you run can take advantage of multi-core you won't get all that much benefit.

However, they're bleedin fast
