    Looks nice but if you look at the reviews, gaming wise, quad cores are still semi useless. A good Core 2 Duo gets the job done just as well if not better in certain cases.

      the reason i like this so much is because it was 4 actual cores at 64 bits..the speed probably blows the crap out of q66 at the same mhz...etc etc...
      as for the games..all new games will be supporting quad core, same thing happened with HT technology..it takes time to adapt..of course they will support it ..they would be fools not too..
