• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Which would you take

For about $1000. is it worth an extra money?
 
I think the Core 2 Duo chip will be faster. Whether it's worth $125 more depends on the application and your budget. There's no universal "value per computing power" that we can compare against.
 
Get the Core2Duo and twice the RAM. Cheaper single core versions are due out soon. (Jan?) Hopefully dual core takes off with Vista.
