Whos happy with Dual cores?

Really, theres no need to upgrade to quad cores.. its a waste of money IMO. Future games will use dual-core cpu's at most.

There is already a game out that fully uses quad-core cpu's and a quite a few slated for this and next year.BlackStalker

If you have a dual core now, it is not worth to get a quad core. New quad core will come soon enough with better performance and less power demanding and heat.

This is blasphemy.:lol:

FOR original poster: If I had the funds, I would upgrade to Quad-core, My boot and programs loading time decreased when I went from single to a Dual-core C.P.U. I would wager to guess that going from Dual to Quad would decrease loading times, so I feel that this is a benefit for me.

Quad cores of today are like the pentium D... not worth it.

Not true, pentium D's did not get 1.5-2x the performance compared to p4's in multi threaded apps, if you compare a dual core to a quad core in a quad supported app such as 3ds max, its about twice as fast.

You are very right my friend.

Well if you do the same test... you would see that yes it does with pentium d 930 3ghz vs prescot530 3ghz..

I'm waiting for the Core 2 Extreme's to drop in price, or for the new Penryn. Only issue with the Penryn is the fact that I don't have a P35 motherboard :(firefly026

you dont need one.

The Penryn's will work on 680's, don't worry. All you need is a BIOS update.
