Which one is going to be better for gaming for the next 3yrs or so. I plan to keep one or the other for 3 yrs without having to switch. And i do like multitasking but by that i mean running music while im talking on a messenger and using the internet and the other one music while playing games. Other than that i don't really do things like photoshop and stuff.. And i kinda hope i can play Alan Wake in a year when it comes out.

The industry is gradually moving to quads, if you want future proofing your best off with a quad.

I look at it more like E7400 - Q9550, the E8*00 aren't worth the extra cache and you're better off going for the 9550 if you want a quad.
