Im not a hardcore gamer (mostly video editing and music production) and my current system (Athlon XP :lol: ) has lasted me 4 years or so, so i want the new build to last. But it seems to be that if you want the system to last a while then go with the Quad cores, if you want a quiet and cooler running system then head down the 45nm route. Confused as buggery :lol: | |

btw, is it worth getting the Q6600 or stump up extra for the new wolfdale (that them?) dual cores? | |
