Well I am about to get myself a few new parts for my computer and am like many have debating the E6850 vs Q6600.
I have not been able to decide what processor to get after many hours of looking. I then came upon this at THG and wanted to get some opinions.

From the results on this thing it looks for me that it is more beneficial to get the E6850. I game and do a bit of photoshop and watch tv on my computer.
I am also waiting for crysis but from the results i have seen so far quad core has no benefit over dual core.
I am looking for Raw performance right now and not in 1.5 years because I can upgrade whenever I want, I am not worried about Future proofing because not all programs are going to be multithreaded by next week.
Is this accurate? Does anyone else have "True" performance numbers to compare the two?
