please advice

I currently have a E6300 overclocked to 3.6 on a evga 680i, I am interested in buying a quad core as I don't game as much anymore and I do mostly video encoding, I use winrar a lot, cd burning, and download, I usually do these things at once and sometimes my E6300 lags very bad.

would I really see a benefit of buying one of those newly priced cut q6600 or something similar, please advice, I also have 4gb of ram. thanks.
 
Video encoding, compression and multitasking are pretty much what a quad-core lives for. It sounds like you might benefit, yes.
 
advice is what you give someone. 'Tom gave Mary good advice'
advise is what you do to someone 'Tom advised Mary to purchase the quad core processor'


yes, get the quad.
 
thank you all, now one last question, is there a quad core that you would recommend that would play nice with my 680i? also do I need to upgrade my memory or am I ok with what I had for the E6600? it's a crucial ballistix 1000mhz.
