Only if you get a G0 stepping though ~_~

lol, well weird...Using and E1200 here...Multitasking too but i don't feel lagging at all...maybe you just need a faster hdd or something...even sometime i tend to unzip a huge file (unzipping a 3.7gb file) while gaming

...well, Quad cores can be overclock but results will not be as high as those dual cores..even if not mistaken, the new i7 procs are dual cores right?but seriously it's up to you. if me, i'll pick the Q9300 due to new 45nm compare to q6600 and slight lower tdp (q6600 is around 105w while the Q9300 is around 95w)Even i'm considering getting a E8400 soon

The new i7s are quads.

That is usually the case but unfortunately a lot of people don't (or just don't want to) realize that.

Good luck with the heat output.

CPU scaling in games with dual & quad core processors

starboykb · 17th Oct 2008, 07:00 PM

its hard to argue about the performance and purchase decision for dual between quad cpu. there are many 50/50 reviewers out there offering different view over it.

I guess you simply got to experience it yourself. anyway thanks for the link.

Nehalem based dual cores will have 2 physical cores but 4 virtual cores.
