Hello!
I am planning to build a new system. I usually upgrade every 3 to 4 years.
I already read tons of information about the latest CPUs. Based on the feedbacks, Intel Q6600 is the way to go. But I am having 2nd thoughts on spending additional money for that processor since most games that would be coming out in 2008 would still not take advantage of quad cores. By the time 2009 games would come that would take advantage of quad cores, Q6600 might not be good enough already. So the extra money that I will invest would be wasted instead of adding it to, let's say, the Hard Disk budget.
So the E6750 is starting to appeal for me, since it is cheaper and runs faster in the current games.
I know that the Q6600 has more headroom in the future. But why invest on it if it will not be up to the task when future software comes?
