I was under the impression that quad core is totally wasted unless you are running some kinda of music mixing/design software?
That is not entierly true, altough most games dont benefit from a quad CPU, it can still help unload some of the work from the CPU, like handling ventrilo, mp3 players, movie players, and so on since you can manualy tell aplication on what core to run, and in that way you could free up your 2 main cores for 100% gameing, and i suspect that in a near future more and more quad compatible games will appear.
Even in single/dual core supported games a quad can help outpreform it, i guess even if the game aint quad core compatible the GPU might be.
Im not an expert on this, its just what ive gatherd from many, many, many houres of reading up before putting in my order
