Hi there,
I am building a new pc soon, and just need a final bit of advice on cpus. There are two that i like but i'm not sure which of the two to get:
The first is a "Intel Core 2 Quad QX6700"
And the other is an "Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800"
As you have probably noticed, the first one is quad core, the second is a duo core. They are also roughly the same price. So which would you get if you were me? I'm looking for the one that will run well with an 8800GTX, and will also be good in the long term. I'm more inclined to get the duo core one, as it's more reliable (apparently), and faster, as pretty much all games don't utilise 4 cores, only two, so the X6800 would be faster.
So if it were up to you, what cpu would you get, duo or quad, and why?
Many thanks, Fergie
