Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 vs. Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Depends if you can overclock the Q6600 with your motherboard. With a Q6600 (g0 stepping) the 2 extra cores will make a difference if you multitask a lot. I run two setups, one with a Q6600 @ 3ghz and another E8400 @ 3ghz. I find the quad feels snappier when I have a lot of stuff going on (simul: EyeTV recording 2 HD shows, Photoshop, browsing, compiling, file/web serving).

apple doesnt use SSE4.1 yet.

in europe the Q6600 is only 25 euro cheaper but gives way more bang for a Buck.

maby not in games yet. but in the rest it does!

 

if you look to the future apple is going all out on multy core support in snow tiger.

so sse4.1 well is not that important more core's are.
