Okay,

For all you who have been waiting to step up to quad core this is your best bet. Intel is cutting prices again.

To be honest, quad core really doesn't matter, unless you're running 3DSMAX, Maya, Crysis, and downloading 9 gigs of a video game, THEN you might want the 4 cores

But yeah, it's cool that they cut the prices down a bunch. And also it's fun to say "I have a quad core".

But i'm AMD for now, so I'll wait a year till I upgrade.

im AMD also, i have a x2 black edition 5000. OC at 3ghz it runs fine for me. Sure the intel will out perform it but it is still nice for right now.
