Default Quad core crew?

Got my new Q6600. Assembled it last night. Anyone else on the quad core trend?

wanna bet? I paid $145 for the q6600. and penryn wont be 3x better maybe 1.25x or 1.5x but not 3x h: if the penryn quad 2.4ghz comes out to be $145 i'll send you my old P4 3.2GHz

This isn't my gaming rig. this is my budget gaming rig.

oh and if the penryn is that much better I am sure I can get it for the same low price I paid for the q6600 :fawk: and just swap it in to the system

I wanted to but $266 for the lowest quad is steep for me. I was thinking about getting an E4400 and OCing the shit out of it until the 45nm Quads come out. Would this be a good idea?
