<bangs head against keyboard> This question AGAIN? really?! no seriously?
You're kidding right?
Ok, I guess you're not kidding so I guess I'll answer you.
This has subject has literally been beat to death over & over.
<insert quad here q9450, q6600, q9300> vs <insert faster dual core here: e8500, e8400, e7200>
1. Whats important to you?
gaming - e8400 will be faster
encoding - q6600 will be faster
low heat, lower power cosumption = e8400
2. How long do you plan on keeping the system?
1-2 years = e8400 will last you long enough till your next upgrade
2-3+ years = q6600 may hold up better as more apps down the road take advantage of all 4 cores.
Don't believe the low heat bs they feed you though.
