quad core or dual core 4 gaming ?

update:

got my hands on a E6600 2.4 mhz 4mb cache c2d this week
it clocked straight up to 3 mhz and seems to be running stable
 

should see me ok for a while and give me enough time to save up some dollar for an i7 system,
and by that time might be more quad supported games.

thanks for you help guys :thumbsup2:

Just to clarify you went from a e6300 to a e6600?

Did you see a leap in power?

I am thinking of doing a semi upgrade so q6600 and more memory then clearing out the system and getting a i7 system next year. However, if the first lot of i7's decrease heavily during the summer i will early adopt.

after clocking it i have been able to up the resolution on cod4:)
so deffinatley been worth while.
its not as big a leap as i would have liked, but can't complain as i didn't pay for the chip :norty:
 
so as said, it will do as a stop gap
