So, how much will a system based on our configuration cost you if we add up the CPU, RAM, cooler and motherboard? You'll find the price for each of the two variations - i.e. dual-core vs. quad-core -in the tables below.

Dual-Core Solution
CPU $227
CPU Cooler $66
Board max. $145
RAM $95
Grand Total $533
Quad-Core Solution
CPU $315
CPU Cooler $66
Board max. $145
RAM $95
Grand Total $621

As you can see, the dual-core setup comes in at just under $534, with the quad-core system costing $88 more. We're not including the price for other components such as graphics cards here, since that is beyond the scope of this article.

In the following section, which consists of our overclocking tests, we intend to find out whether the quad-core CPU is worth the extra cost
