I'm still pretty confused about Quad vs Duo. What I've read and see in benchmarks is that Photoshop does better with a faster clockspeed, so for the money, that would point to Duos (E8500, 3.16 is $190 vs Q6600 for $10 less) especially when you look at 45nm (E8500) vs 65nm (Q6600), and FSB 1333MHz (E8500) vs 1066MHz (Q6600)
Does a quad core perform better overall on a computer system that still point to going with quad over a Duo? What am I missing? Money is not a free flowing as it used to be.
I'm not a gamer and not interested in OC particularly, more interested in a stable, quiet system.
I'll building with an Asus P5Q Pro, 8 GB RAM, Antec P182 case
Thanks!
