Is quad core worth it over dual core?. If I upgrade from my 6000+ dual core at 3.2 Ghz will I see any speed benefit going with a phenom at a lower clock as in 2.6 ghz on 4 cores? I cant make sense of it yet? I really want a 3.5 Ghz or more Phenom X4 if one...

left behind . A 6 core 22nm die will be cheaper than a quad at 45nm [ or 32nm] and it will probably draw less than todays dual cores . Worth thinking about can u name a cpu that is better than i7 ? We don't want more cores: we want more cache, faster...

looked, those CPU's (sock 939) are so obselete now... wow, and just looked again, the Wolfdale 8400 is out, that was what I was thinking for my new system, becuase I don't think Quad Core is worth it yet? (and from what I can see, when it does become worth...

strapped together, i cant imagine loosing any more than 5fps from a quad and sli... I dunno.. its magic! Well like I asked if quad core and sli made a difference the quad machine should pown. If not and the quad is stock the dual core will pown. She told...

I choose the 275 OR 285 (going dual video cards, of course), I'm guessing your vote is for the Intel set up? That's a good point, thanks for that. :D At those resolutions, would it be worth going dual video cards at all? Thanks for your help! only get...

turned up as I possibly can, I like the eye candy). With the new quad I'm playing MOH right now and cpu usage is around 55-60%. It uses ALL 4 cores so thats quite a bit of power it's using, don't forget thats 4 cores at 3ghz and it's faster clock for clock...

going to push it eventually too. Those are not your only two options for CPU's either. AMD makes lots of choices. They have a quad core 2.8 for around what the 720 costs. And if you could save up some extra money you can get a quad core BE at 3.0 (940BE). $164...

do it big it will be worth it and you will be a lot more happy with a PCI-E upgrade, also for the future I can upgrade to any of the Athlon’s FX’s or Dual Cores, and a faster vid card in about a year or 2 when they become cheaper, but I plan on building...

a triple/quad core CPU for what i do. a dual core fits your needs, you don't need triple/quad because you are just watching movies, browsing the net...not cpu intensive. The difference between a dual core and a tri core on ncix is $15 ca. I couldn't get...

be worth the cost Thanks, I'll go with DDR2 then. Another question. Dual Core or Quad Core? For a Dual Core I was thinking about an E8500 (137.99GBP) for a Quad Core I was looking at either the Q8400 (136.99) or the Q9550 (169.98). My mate said Quad Cores...
