in terms that since it is an older technology it should be of lesser price by now.
but in the tech world people realize how good and valuable the Core2Quad is and was.
the Core2Quad paired with the right hardware can compete with the newer technology out today.
I don't see why they make motherboards for C2Q and run DDR3, I think that is dumb,
DDR2 800MHz or 1066MHz in dual channel mode is still good enough.
Intel is always a higher price anyways..
