    Say i dont have to worry about the budget but im not going for the extreme editions, What chip would be better for gaming, a Core 2 Duo, or a Core 2 Duo Quad? I'm waiting for the price cuts on July 22nd but which would be best for my usage? I dont really encode video or audio, i just game (intensivly), watch anime and do other misc stuff.

    Quad core is usless for gaming

    You would benifit more from a better VC & running 2 gb of memory

    what he said

    most games arent even optimized (multithreaded) for dual cores yet but its becoming the norm as of recently. a nice core 2 duo will last u a long time (hopefully rolleyes)
