4GB isn't worth it as you'll only ever seen between 2.5-3.5 of acutal useful memory in windows due to it being 32bit.
Duo Core and Quad core isn't efficient for a lot of stuff because the program or game isn't written with the other cores in mind. Supreme Commander and Command and Conquer 3 are the only 2 at this time taking advantage of more than 1 core.
For cooling looking at something like the Scythe Ninja or the Zalman 9700.
6K can get you really sweet stuffs, including the monitors, which are half the price.
4GB is worth it running 64Bits version and doing extreme video editing and graphic programs.
you're correct about gaming efficiency on Multi-core CPU, same thing like I stated.
h:
btw, I wasn't asking about cooling. I had the Ninja on my Current Rig (6600/P5WH-Dlx). It's efficient, but not enough. I may need to look WC next
